A direction that the question of who pays the costs of a particular step or hearing is left open ('reserved') to be decided later, usually at the end of the proceedings. Reserved costs are often mentioned in later costs orders so they are not forgotten.
In Plain English
This means the judge has decided to wait until later in the case to decide who should pay for a specific hearing. The decision is 'saved' so it can be dealt with once the judge has a better overview of the whole situation.
