71. The Court notes that an application for review is a procedural right of the parties
enshrined in Rule 78 of the Rules. In the instant case, the Court reiterates that the
withdrawal of the Declaration has no effect on the Application for Review brought
in relation to the initial Application of 8 November 2017. Accordingly, the Court
holds that there is no abuse of process.
72. In conclusion, the Court finds no reason for it to depart from Rule 32(2) of the
Rules and decides that each party shall bear its own costs.
