I asked counsel for the applicant to address the court on the aspect of costs of the application.
He indicated to the court that he will not pursue an order of costs as he had done on the papers.
That concession is proper in my view; instead of the applicant straight away coming to this court for a declaratur, she approached the Labour Court on two different occasions, unnecessarily causing the respondent to incur costs.
Either she could have applied for review of the proceedings or make an appeal if she was not happy with the dismissal.
I will not grant costs to the applicant also on the basis of the poorly prepared record of proceedings, and, that duty fell on counsel for the applicant. He admitted that the record was a shambles, and, by such conduct, the court will not grant an order of costs even though the applicant succeeded in this matter....,.
(a)...,.
(b) There will be no order as to costs.
