The court applied established principles: costs normally follow the event; trustees are entitled to indemnity for costs properly and reasonably incurred, but that right can be lost or indemnity curtailed where the trustee's conduct amounts to misconduct or is otherwise unreasonable, negligent or inequitable, and the court may order costs against a trustee in such circumstances.
