Costs should follow the event because the respondent failed in both the setting aside application and the leave to appeal application; the minimal deletion of paragraph 1(iii) and the respondent's settlement proposals do not outweigh the fact of two failed proceedings designed to overturn the Award; accordingly indemnity costs are appropriate to prevent the applicant subsidising an abortive challenge and the respondent must pay costs on an indemnity basis.
