DECISION ON COSTS

----------------------------------------------

1.In the written judgment, I made a costs order nisi in the plaintiff's favour. The parties have made submissions in writing dealing with the defendant's contention that the plaintiff should not be entitled to all of its costs. I have now read and considered those written submissions and my final order as to costs is that the defendant shall pay 75% of the plaintiff's taxed costs. The additional costs incurred by the submissions on my costs order nisi shall be included in the overall costs of the action.
