The parties have agreed that the costs of and occasioned by the amendments should be costs in the case, save for the amendments to Appendix III. Appendix III contains particulars of the claims by the indigenous and Quilombola peoples. Draft amendments were served in October 2024 and revised on 30 May 2025. I accept the submission of Ms Windle KC that no distinction can be drawn between the original and revised amendments for the purpose of costs. The claimants should bear the costs of and occasioned by the amendments to Appendix III, the usual rule where a party seeks to amend.
