The costs order made in the Decision was an order nisi under O.42 r.5B and the court has power to vary it to an order of summary assessment with immediate payment; sale of the vessels renders the related admiralty claims academic but does not preclude immediate payment of costs; derivative claims require joinder and do not prevent defendants from having costs paid forthwith.
