    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP2775/2016

    Leave to appeal was refused because there was no arguable ground to disturb the judge's discretionary costs decision: the costs order nisi had not been perfected, the judge correctly found the prohibition application unmeritorious on the evidence, the respondent's failure to issue a summons was excusable and relief under Order 2 Rule 5 was properly granted, and consequently the costs order was not wrong in principle; petitioner ordered to pay indemnity costs fixed at $35,000 and further oral reconsideration prohibited under Order 59 Rule 2A(8).
