The court concluded that D2's participation at the substantive hearing on issues 3–5 and 10 was unnecessary because the disputed questions are shareholder disputes or legal constructions that can be addressed by the opposing camps; the court exercised its inherent jurisdiction to vary its earlier direction made without hearing the plaintiff as exceptional circumstances existed; accordingly the plaintiff's summons to vary the direction was granted and an order nisi for costs was made against D1, D3–D31, D32 and D33.
