The court varied the costs apportionment: the 2nd Defendants are entitled to one half of the costs of the trial because, although they lost on the construction of s.15, pursuing that legal issue was not improper or unreasonable; the court refused to make additional separate costs for the Notice to Admit given the timing and minimal marginal costs; the court confirmed that costs of the counterclaim relating to s.15 should be paid from Wui funds and taxed on a common fund basis. The varied order nisi was made absolute and certain costs of the hearing were allocated accordingly.
