Summary
After withdrawing a reference under section 8(1)(a) in respect of unpublished patent applications that the referrer had not even seen, the referrer sought costs on the grounds that the defendant should have provided more information about the patent applications. This was rejected as the defendant was under no obligation to provide such information, and costs were awarded to the defendant according to the normal scale.
