The parties had disputed an application for an injunction and claims in harassment, and now asked the court to apportion costs.
Held: The Claimant has succeeded on a part of his case which is important, but is relatively minor in relation to the substance of his complaint. His success is primarily in obtaining protection of the rights of third parties rather than of his own rights. But viewed overall in my judgment the Defendant has come out of this trial better than he has. It is only my assessments that the risk of his making disclosure in the future is insufficient to justify an injunction that he can be regarded as having had greater success than her.
