2. Page 2, new para 7
Insert as new paragraph 7:
The attitude I have always taken is that if there is some arguable merit in the application and the applicant has no money to meet a costs order, costs ought not to be granted for the reason that he would be prevented from making any fresh application while the debt for costs was outstanding. However, in a case where there is no identifiable merit in the proceeding in this court, costs should be granted. In the circumstances we will grant costs on this occasion. In this particular case the appeal will be dismissed with costs.

Original paragraph 7 is now paragraph 8.
