- CACV140/2005
The plaintiff was not entitled to recover its costs because its notice of acceptance did not abandon all other causes of action so Order 62 r10(2) was not engaged; payment into court did not amount to an admission; the court could not properly exercise inherent jurisdiction to award costs in absence of adjudication and with the defendant's counterclaim unresolved; consequently the District Court order awarding costs to the plaintiff was set aside.
