________________________
1. By order dated 17 June 2022, I ordered that the costs of the Interim Interim Injunction Application be paid by the plaintiff to the defendant, such costs are to be paid forthwith on an indemnity basis and to be summarily assessed.
2. As to the quantum of the defendant’s costs payable by the plaintiff, I have considered the Statement of Costs for Summary Assessment dated 21 June 2022 lodged by the defendant. I have also considered the plaintiff’s List of Objections to the defendant’s Statement of Costs dated 24 June 2022. Taking a necessarily broad-brush approach, and assessing the costs on the indemnity basis, I would summarily assess the defendant’s costs at $250,000.
