Mr. John Kelly:

In the vast majority of cases, we have not, to my knowledge, sought security for costs. Mostly, when we find ourselves in a litigation situation, costs follow the event, as the Deputy knows. If we were successful in a case, we would seek to recover our costs. If we were not successful, the court would make an order as to how costs were to be apportioned between the parties.
