The summonses were dismissed because the petitioner unreasonably delayed and failed to warn the alleged funders/directing parties, produced no evidence that the directors were the real parties or personally benefited from continuing the litigation, failed to establish serious impropriety causatively linked to unnecessary costs, and could not recover costs for conduct after the automatic stay; exercise of discretion under s.52A in these circumstances was unjustified.
