    Citation
    JUDITH RIPKA CREATIONS INC v. UNICORN LTD AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA403/2004

    The application for clarification was dismissed because no ambiguity existed in the sealed Costs Order when the written Ruling on Costs (31 January 2005) was available to the Taxing Master; the slip rule did not apply as no clerical mistake or amendment was sought; accordingly the court refused to exercise any power to clarify the sealed order and ordered that the costs of the application be the subject of a costs nisi in favour of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants to be taxed if not agreed.
