    The court held that the ordinary rule that the loser of an application bears the opponent's costs applies and that the 2nd defendant's medical grounds did not constitute special circumstances to displace that rule; because the adjournments would have prejudiced the plaintiff, the 2nd defendant was ordered to pay the plaintiff's costs of the adjournment applications.
