The Court exercised its discretion to make no order as to the respondent's costs because the respondent's acquiescence and failure to appeal the original judgment encouraged the appeals, and the respondent's ultimate success resulted from the Court's view of the judge's original judgment rather than from the respondent's own arguments, making it appropriate in these exceptional circumstances to depart from the general rule that costs follow the event.
