Where a putative respondent is invited and its participation materially assists the court such that the leave hearing amounts in substance to a full inter partes consideration, the judge did not err in awarding costs against unsuccessful applicants at the leave stage; the Court of Appeal will only interfere with such discretionary costs decisions on limited grounds and found no error here, dismissing the appeals and upholding orders for costs and legal aid taxation.
