    No order as to costs was made for the Stay Application and the Return Application because both were interlocutory child‑related summary proceedings where the usual practice of no order as to costs applies; there was insufficient evidence that the Mother acted reprehensibly or unreasonably or that the child's welfare would be put at risk if no costs order were made; therefore discretion under Order 62 and relevant authorities was exercised to decline a costs order.
