The costs order was a nisi order under O.42 r.5B and the court had jurisdiction to vary the costs order to one of summary assessment; accordingly summary assessment was ordered and immediate payment of the assessed costs follows automatically under the rules; sale of vessels did not prevent immediate payment of costs and derivative actions continuing will require amendments and joinder of alleged wrongdoers.
