Presumably one of the parties had brought the case and (at least initially) had to pay the claim/application fee to the court, whether or not they were later reimbursed. In total, when all was said and done, how much money did the courts receive in respect of this case?
This is perhaps driving toward a larger question, which maybe ought to be posted separately, but I'm not fully convinced that is needed: do courts generally run at a loss, a profit, or breaking even?
