The tribunal lacked jurisdiction to re-open or vary the final costs orders made in the judgment absent exceptional circumstances; the failed auction was a post-litigation event that did not justify awarding indemnity costs against the applicant; the respondents' letter application was procedurally improper and devoid of merit, therefore the respondents' claim for indemnity costs is dismissed and the tribunal assessed and ordered specific costs accordingly.
