- High Court
No costs awarded against the second respondent because the judicial error was not of the second respondent's making, the second respondent did not defend the decision and promptly acted by consent to correct the error, and awarding costs would improperly make the respondent a surrogate for the court contrary to the Newton principle; exercise of discretion under r 14.7(g) requires that costs lie where they fall.
