Leave to withdraw the summons was granted but withdrawal alone is not a sufficient reason to deny costs; the Plaintiff should have assessed the advisability of the application before prosecution and the Defendant incurred compensable costs. Accordingly the Plaintiff must pay the Defendant's costs for the earlier summons and related wasted costs up to the specified date and the costs of the subsequent withdrawal summons, to be assessed by the Registrar if not agreed.
