1. This ruling is in respect of the liability for the costs of an application for discovery by a non-party. In view of the unusual circumstances of the situation which gave rise to the application itself and the resultant involvement of six firms of solicitors one of whom instructed counsel, I decided to give my decision and the reasons for it in writing in the hope that parties may be discouraged from allowing a similar situation to develop again.
