I did not say that you cannot apply for costs and that is often what happens.
I stand by my remark
"costs were not awarded until the case finally came to trial".
Someone queried why the petitioners were not Unite or Bassa.
Maybe if costs were awarded against them (Unite or Bassa) they can pay and would be expected to pay.
However, generally, individuals are not so well off and were costs awarded against them there is only so much they can pay.
I would be very worried if I were one of those individuals.
Despite what they say, this smacks of Unite wanting to keep a step away from the Bassa leadership.
