    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA2163/2014

    Both parties' solicitors engaged in misconduct: plaintiff's solicitors failed to respond to defendant's February correspondence which caused the unnecessary hearing and wasted costs; defendant failed to comply with a prior court order to file an affidavit in support of its application. Balancing these factors under O.62 r.5, the appropriate order is that there be no order as to costs for the hearing, with costs in the cause for the wider proceedings and specified case management directions and leave to serve supplemental witness statements.
