The Court granted leave to appeal because the three posed questions — jurisdiction under s52A to make costs orders against funders who were parties of record but not applicants, whether a funder must be shown to have aimed to be the sole or substantial beneficiary before being ordered to pay costs, and whether s265(5B) precludes such orders against unsecured creditor funders — are properly arguable and of great general or public importance.
