The judge exercised her discretion to depart from the ordinary rule that the withdrawing party pays costs because the 2nd Respondent's dilatory, non‑responsive and aggressive litigation conduct (including issuing an unnecessary summons after the applicant had already agreed to discontinue) caused unnecessary cost and litigation; accordingly the court ordered no order as to costs between the applicant and the 2nd respondent and no order as to costs of the summons (nisi), and no order as to costs between R2 and R1.
