Section 52A(2) of the High Court Ordinance bars the court from awarding costs against a person who was not a party to the relevant proceedings; David Liu was a non‑party (not a contributory or director at the hearing) and therefore the court lacked jurisdiction to order costs against him and correctly ordered that costs be paid out of the Company's assets; the joinder application was properly refused as being raised first in this Court without special circumstances.
