The court exercised its costs discretion and ordered no order as to costs because the defendants (executors/trustees) had acted reasonably in administering the estate and in the litigation, the plaintiffs had mixed success across multiple claims, the welfare of the mentally handicapped Son was a paramount consideration leading to settlement terms, and the fraud allegation, while serious, was not so unreasonable as to warrant a separate costs order against the defendants.
