SCHEDULE OF REASONS

 

1. On 26 December 2024, the Defendant filed a Notice of Commencement of Assessment of Bill of Costs (the “NOC”).

2. The NOC and accompanying Statement of Costs dated 23 December 2024 sets out the Defendant’s claimed costs to be in the sum of USD 6,000 (the “Claimed Costs”).

3. On 22 January 2025, the Defendant filed a request for a Default Costs Certificate (the “Request”).

4. The Claimed Costs are being sought in relation to the Order of Justice Lord Angus Glennie dated 9 December 2024 (the “Order”).

5. The Order, in relevant part, reads as follows:

"IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. The PTA Application is dismissed.

2.The Defendant is to pay the Claimant costs for the PTA Application, to be assessed by the Registrar if not agreed by the parties.

3. The Unless and Sanctions Application is granted.

…

9.The Defendant shall pay the Claimant’s costs for the Unless and Sanctions Application, to be assessed by the Registrar if not agreed by the parties.” (emphasis added)

6. Having reviewed the Order, I find that it does not entitle the Defendant to its costs of the PTA Application or the Unless and Sanctions Application (the “Applications”). To the contrary, the Order directs that the Defendant pay the Claimant’s costs of the Applications, to be assessed, if not agreed.

7. As the Defendant has failed to provide any basis for which it is entitled to its Claimed Costs, the Request must be dismissed.

8. The Defendant shall bear its own costs of the Request.
