- HCMP878/2020
The court refused to vary the order nisi because the Foundation was the practical winner (54 of 76 bills ordered for taxation) and monetary value alone does not determine effective victory; the Foundation’s conduct did not justify depriving it of costs and WG’s procedural and engagement shortcomings weighed against variation; therefore WG’s summons to vary the costs order was dismissed and the original costs order was upheld.
