- Court
- High Court
Given the facts, including the evasive responses from the respondent's advisers and the applicant's legitimate concern about dissipation of estate assets, the Court exercised discretion to grant costs to the applicant for commencement of the proceedings; costs are to be awarded on a 2B basis but assessed on the District Court scales rather than the High Court scales.
