- Case number
- CACV155/2018
The application to vary the costs order nisi was dismissed because (1) the notice of appeal did not seek costs of the Medical Council inquiry so it was not open to the appellant to pursue that relief post‑judgment, and (2) even on the merits no general rule warranted awarding inquiry costs against the Medical Council given its regulatory role and practice; accordingly the costs order nisi was made absolute and the appellant was ordered to pay the costs of this application.
