ATTA KWAKU. v. SACKER alias PAPPOE and others

JUDGMENT.

In this appeal against costs allowed on taxation to the Plaintiff-The Appellant does not ask for a review of the taxation which was allowed on motion, but a review of the Judge's decision that the effect of the Court of appeal not having dealt with the question of costs was that costs followed the event which was the removal of the judgment given in favour of the Defendants.

We are of opinion that the words costs follow the event, means the result of the proceedings in issue. Defendants only remedy would have been an appeal to the Full Court, to vary their order - this has not been done owing apparently to the Plaintiff having taken no action for nearly a year after the decision of the appeal Court, which made it practically impossible for the Defendants to get a review of that decision; as we have no power to review a decision of a previous appeal Court differently constituted, we have no alternative but to dismiss this appeal, but without costs.
