A decision about costs, after an earlier decision in which the Court dismissed an application for judicial review of a Land Court decision.
Here, Justice Applegarth considered the circumstances in which an unsuccessful applicant for judicial review may avoid liability for costs where the matter was of “public interest”.
Matthew Hickey appeared for the respondent (instructed by the Crown Solicitor), who successfully argued that the applicant should not avoid liability for costs in this case.
