Costs ruling of Mr. Justice Mark Heslin delivered on the 31st day of January 2023
    This short ruling in relation to the question of costs must be read in conjunction with the judgment of this court delivered on 15 December 2022 (�the judgment�). Written submissions were furnished by both parties and I have carefully considered same.
    For the reasons set out in the judgment, I refused the defendant�s application.� Thus, it is entirely fair to say that the plaintiff/respondent was � entirely successful�. The significance of this is clear from s. 169(1) of the Legal Services Regulation Act 2015 Act (�the 2015 Act�) which states:
�A party who is entirely successful in civil proceedings is entitled to an award of costs against a party who is not successful in those proceedings, unless the court orders otherwise, having regard to the particular nature and circumstances of the case, and the conduct of the proceedings by the parties, including�
(b)   whether it was reasonable for a party to raise, pursue or contest one or more issues in the proceedings,
