    On the evidence including the Social Investigation Report and children’s expressed wishes, the Petitioner pursued a hopeless and unsubstantiated bid to change both children’s schools for reasons of convenience and without demonstrable benefit to the children; his conduct (including unilateral enrolment and insincere mediation) went beyond the band of reasonable litigation in children proceedings; given his greater resources, a costs order against him was justified; accordingly Petitioner must pay Respondent’s costs of the Schooling Summons and of the costs application.
