Bridge Printery v Mestre (No.2)

In *Bridge Printery v Mestre (No.2)*, the dispute concerned the costs of an appeal. The appellant had been successful in the appeal, and the court was required to determine whether there was any sufficient reason why the respondent should not be ordered to pay the appellant's costs.

The primary legal issue before the court was the application of the general rule that a successful party should be awarded their costs, and whether any exceptions applied in this instance. The court had to consider if the conduct of the parties or any other circumstances warranted departing from this usual order.

The court reasoned that there was no sufficient reason to depart from the general rule. The successful appellant was therefore entitled to recover their costs of the appeal from the respondent. The court ordered that the respondent pay the appellant's costs of the appeal.
