Leave to appeal was refused because there was no arguable error of law in the adjudicator's exercise of discretion on costs; the HK$100 award was properly characterized as nominal damages because liability was established but quantum was not proved; given claimant recovered only nominal damages the tribunal reasonably treated respondent as the real winner and lawfully made no order as to costs; the adjudicator acted within jurisdiction in dismissing the review for non-attendance.
