Costs of $14,931 awarded against Mr Prasad for the discontinuance because his District Court proceedings were misconceived, unnecessary and amounted to impermissible re-litigation; indemnity approach justified for discontinuance costs; no costs awarded to the successful appellant on the appeal because the District Court proceedings were misconceived and disbursements were not properly recoverable by a lay litigant.
