(3) If the court decides to make an order about costs—

(a)the general rule is that the unsuccessful party will be ordered to pay the costs of the successful party; but

(b)the court may make a different order.

(4) In deciding what order (if any) to make about costs, the court must have regard to all of the circumstances, including—

(a)the conduct of all the parties; and

(b)whether a party has succeeded on part of an application, even if he has not been wholly successful.
