- Court of Appeal
In a multi-issue judicial review the court may lawfully designate the party who prevailed on the majority or the more substantial issues as overall successful for costs; here the appellant succeeded on one of three distinct challenges while the respondent successfully resisted relief on the other two, so the High Court was entitled to treat the respondent as the overall successful party and the Court of Appeal will not disturb that exercise of discretion.
