The appellate court allowed the appeal and set aside the magistrate's refusal of costs, holding that although non-disclosure can be relevant in exceptional circumstances, the magistrate's exercise of discretion was unsustainable in the particular way applied; the appellant was entitled to trial costs limited to the period after disclosure of Exhibit D1 and to 50% of his appeal costs, subject to taxation if not agreed.
