Following the dismissal of the applicant's application, the court determined the issue of costs.
The applicant argued it should be exempt from costs as a public interest litigant.
The court rejected this argument, finding the applicant had a material interest in the proceeding, as success would have halted an underlying police disciplinary hearing and an abuse of process motion against the applicant.
The respondents sought substantial indemnity costs, but the court awarded partial indemnity costs in the amount of $33,434.93.
