Although there was no single clear overall winner, the court exercised its wide discretion to make the costs order nisi absolute in favour of the mother because the father had unilaterally breached the consent order (notably reducing maintenance), the mother's offers were more reasonable, and the vast disparity in financial capacity meant awarding costs to the mother better protected the child's welfare.
