</div>Counsel for Defendant/Applicant moves Motion with
Affidavit in Support.<o:p></o:p>I have read the application and the Affidavit in
Support and I am of the view that the issue of Cost being excessive ought to
have been taken up by the Defendant in their appeal at the appellate
Court.&nbsp; I do not think this is a matter
for review.<o:p></o:p>Cost is a discretionary matter for the Court.&nbsp; Having awarded the Costs, it should be a
question of appeal if Counsel thinks that the Cost is either excessive or
should not have been awarded in the first place.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Accordingly the Motion is dismissed. No order as to Costs.&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>
