    High Court

    Neither party was the overall winner for costs purposes; although the appeal succeeded on several points (including that the 2005 driveway was an intentional encroachment and certain orders on compensation and costs were set aside), the parties succeeded to a similar extent on the most important issues (notably the garage vesting and jurisdiction questions), and therefore costs of the appeal lie where they fall; orders regarding compensation and the District Court costs award are remitted to the District Court for reconsideration.
