- FACV9/2018
The Court exercised its discretion to make no order as to costs (including costs of the applications for leave) because the appeals raised novel, important and constitutional issues of public significance and were properly characterised as lead/test cases in the immigration context; and the Court granted a certificate for three counsel for the appellants for the purposes of legal aid taxation because the issues were exceptional and the arguments were extensive and novel.
