Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant, ZIMRA, filed an application for interim relief but later filed a notice of withdrawal without tendering the respondent's wasted costs. The respondent objected to the defective withdrawal and argued for costs on an attorney and client scale, alleging arrogance by the applicant's counsel. The court found the withdrawal defective but declined to award costs on a higher scale.
