REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 The applicant has been substantially successful in these proceedings. It is true that it complained of threats contained in two letters and has been successful only in respect of one. Although both parties accepted that the two letters had to be read together, it is possible that had the applicant proceeded only with respect to the first letter, the incurrence of some costs may have been avoided. However I doubt that any increase in costs was significant. The respondent should pay the applicant’s costs of the hearing on 26 June 2007 and of receiving judgment today.
