having regard to the importance of the issue, the nature of the incorporated association, any other available method of resolving the issue, the costs involved, lapse of time, acquiescence or any other relevant circumstance, it was unreasonable to make the application; or
the unreasonable or improper conduct of a party has been responsible for the making of an application, or has added to the cost of the proceedings.
