The Court of Appeal reversed the District Court's decision regarding litigation costs, ordering the losing party to pay the winner's expenses. The District Court had initially exempted the losing party from costs, but the appellate court found this procedural outcome incorrect based on the established rules of civil litigation. Consequently, the losing party is now liable for the costs incurred by the successful party in the lower court.
