LEAVE TO APPEAL
WEPENER,
J
: This is an application
for leave to appeal. It is directed at the costs order only and
further it is limited
that it is directed at a portion of the cost
order only.
The
argument is that a certain portion of the costs should either have
been paid by each party or by the respondent. That
further
limits the issue that the applicant wishes to take on appeal.
Such
an issue is extremely limited and, in my view, does not warrant the
attention and further costs in this matter. It does
not warrant
the attention of a higher court nor the further incurrence of costs
in this matter.
If one
has regard to the outcome of the matter, I believe that the costs
order was appropriately included therein.
I am
not convinced that another court will come to a different conclusion
on this extremely limited issue.
The
application for leave to appeal is dismissed with costs.
