COA CA549/2010
Court

Court of Appeal

Security for costs paid to the Court of Appeal can only be applied to costs incurred in the Court of Appeal; therefore only the $500 costs awarded for the abandoned appeal could be disbursed to the respondent and the remaining security must be returned to the person who paid it (to appellant's counsel at appellant's direction).
