The Court held Fenton McFadden was entitled to recover costs for attendances it made as a true non-party in relation to the urgent freezing order matter, but costs incurred in communicating with and taking instructions from the first respondent (i.e. acting as adviser/agent or trustee work) are not non-party costs and must be recovered from the first respondent; the parties were directed to provide a division of costs or the respondent must file a memorandum dividing costs for final determination; no costs were awarded for the application for costs itself due to overreach.
