Withdrawal of application for costs allowed without hearing Belkin (R. 265 RoP).
Even without the withdrawal, no decision on the merits would have been issued, as the Court of First Instance has jurisdiction for applications for the determination of costs. No decision on costs is required here.
As a rule, even the successful party bears the costs of the cost assessment proceedings (R. 150 RoP).
