Although the ordinary rule is that the unsuccessful party pays costs, the court found that because the applicant failed to respond adequately to multiple reasonable attempts to resolve the dispute prior to the statutory demand and did not engage with the claimant after service, this was a proper case to refuse the applicant's claim for costs; the court therefore directed that costs lie where they fall.
