The Respondent did not discharge the burden to show the actions were frivolous or that special circumstances existed to displace the default no‑costs rule in respect of the discrimination proceedings; however, on a broad‑brush assessment and given overlap with the employment claim, the costs order nisi was varied so that the Claimant must pay 25% of the costs of the consolidated actions with certificate for counsel, to be taxed if not agreed, with the Claimant's legal aid costs taxed under the Legal Aid Regulations.
