The summons to vary the costs order nisi was dismissed because, on the substance of the proceedings, this was an adverse hostile claim over beneficial ownership and not a trustee/beneficiary application properly instituted for the general administration of the estate; the deceased did not occasion the doubt in a manner sufficient to charge the estate; accordingly costs should follow the event and the existing costs order nisi in favour of the 4th defendant becomes absolute.
