Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant filed a review application using the wrong form (Form C4 instead of Form LC 5) without a sworn affidavit. Despite the respondent raising these defects in the Notice of Opposition and Heads of Argument, the applicant persisted until the hearing date when he sought to withdraw the application with costs on the ordinary scale. The respondent objected and insisted on costs on the higher scale.
