The court found the public interest litigation criteria were satisfied (issues of general public importance, no private gain and a significant contribution to legal understanding) and, exercising its discretion, ordered that there be no order as to costs in all the appeals (including costs of submissions on costs); the appeals were not so devoid of merit and the multiplicity of proceedings did not justify a costs order against applicants in the circumstances.
