Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant instituted winding up proceedings against itself, but the application was actually brought by NSSA (its majority shareholder) without proper authorization. After extensive litigation, the applicant withdrew the application on 16 February 2018, tendering ordinary costs. The respondents rejected this and sought attorney-client costs against NSSA as the effective litigant.
