- High Court
The Court declined to order costs against the applicant and held that costs should lie where they fall because the applicant's challenge was not vexatious or frivolous, indemnity costs were inappropriate where no improper conduct occurred, and practical considerations (long-term prisoner unlikely to pay) and limited merit weighed against awarding costs.
