The applicant had paid a sum into court by way of costs to allow him to appeal the decision. That appeal was denied, and he turned instead to the European Court of Human Rights. The defendant applied for the sum to be paid out, and the applicant that it be left in court pending the application to the European Court.
Held: The money had been paid in expressly pending the determination of the Court of Appeal. That had been paid out, and there remained no reason for the defendant to be kept out of his costs.
