- High Court
No costs award was made against Mr M because his appeal was responsibly brought in the child's interests and awarding costs would likely cause him and his children serious hardship; similarly, no order was made under s135A COCA to require parties to reimburse the Crown for the lawyer for the child because such orders would cause serious hardship to each party or their dependent children.
