Kindly note the following correction in the Decision dated 17 July 2017:-

“9.2 The wife is entitled to the costs of the application which we summarily assessed at $30,000 inclusive of counsel’s fee at $20,000. The wife’s own costs are to be taxed according to the Legal Aid Regulations.”

If there is no application from any party to vary the costs order nisi in favour of the wife and the summary assessment within 7 days, the order will thereupon become absolute.”
