- Court of First Instance

- HCA12525/1994
Costs are to be allocated to the parties who succeeded on each discrete reserved application: defendants awarded costs where their applications succeeded (admission attempts and withdrawal of malice), plaintiffs awarded costs where defendants' applications failed (putting Vines's statement before the jury and argument over calling Mr Wilson), and defendants awarded costs in respect of the no case application concerning the 2nd plaintiff because the defendants ultimately succeeded on that issue; the court's assessment turned on the evidence presented and fairness arising from parties' conduct.
