Where the Fund Board joined proceedings under s25A(b) but took an adversarial position in pleadings and did not confine its case to an absent co-defendant, the court, exercising its wide discretion under s53 and Order 62, may order the Fund Board jointly and severally liable for the successful plaintiff's costs; the court varied the costs nisi accordingly and ordered ancillary directions including allocation of the Fund Board's EC Action costs to Yeung and a limited stay of execution to permit recovery from the primary defendants.
