The joinder summons was unmeritorious and time-barred; the plaintiff had constructive knowledge and unreasonably delayed and failed to make timely enquiries; the plaintiff unreasonably persisted after a WP offer to withdraw; joinder conferred no practical benefit; therefore indemnity costs are appropriate and the costs order nisi is varied to award indemnity costs as sought.
