The Commission had sought an order for the defendants to be committed to prison for failing toi comply with court orders requiring amendment to the Constitution of the British National Party. The action failed and the defendants applied for their costs.
Held: Two defendants had not been involved in creating the difficulties and their costs were payable. Mr Griffin had to some extent contributed to the expense but not to such an extent that he should be deprived of his costs, though he was not awarded them on an indemnity basis.
