The court held that there was no question of principle involved in the matter, and that the trust was entitled to costs. The court further held that Baladi's opposition was not an abuse of process, as the trust had proffered undertakings that resolved the interlocutory dispute. The court held that the trust was entitled to costs on an indemnity basis, and that Baladi was required to pay the trust's costs of the application.
