The presumption that costs follow discontinuance applies; the originating application was inapt and the applicants had not established a clear statutory basis for the broad inspection sought, such that respondents were entitled to costs. The confusing and fishing nature of the application and the additional work caused justified categorising Mayne Wetherell and the receivers at 2C with a 50% uplift and awarding other respondents costs at 2B (with uplift where specified).
