The Wife fabricated evidence and thus acted improperly within s17(3) of the Legal Aid Ordinance; consequently she is ordered to pay costs personally as if not an aided person; the Bank was justified in suing the Solicitors in the alternative and, having regard to the Solicitors' conduct in the transaction which facilitated the Wife and Son's allegations, a Sanderson order is appropriate so that the Solicitors' successful defence costs are payable by the Wife and Son jointly and severally, with specified taxation directions.
