Judgment

The Court:

• 1. Mr Tamir Omara ("the Applicanf') has applied for costs orders in his favour in two sets of proceedings in which he has been involved. In this judgment we address his claims for costs orders. We also determine some general issues relating to the assessment of costs pursuant to the orders that we consider should be made. If more detailed questions of quantification remain, we would expect them to be referred to the Registrar of the Court.
