LORD JUSTICE BROOKE: We consider this is not a case in which we can sensibly make a deduction from the costs. The appellants in essence won on the main issue with which this appeal is concerned and in so far as they have lost we understand that our judgment was of great assistance to the Home Office and the Home Office should be content with that. Costs here and below.
