- High Court
Even though both parties sought costs at the interlocutory hearing, the court held that the appropriate course was to reserve costs of the plaintiff's unsuccessful applications for summary judgment and for an interim injunction pending the outcome of the substantive proceeding and appeal, because the general rule for summary judgment matters is reservation and the interim injunction turned on the balance of convenience.
