No good reason or exceptional circumstance existed to depart from the general rule that the discontinuing plaintiff pay costs; independent audits and a committee investigation found no irregularity, the plaintiff persisted with inconsistent positions for years, and removal as director was not the true or sole cause of withdrawal; accordingly the Master's costs orders were set aside and the plaintiff was ordered to pay the defendants' costs of the action, the withdrawal application and the appeal (with certificate for counsel).
