    Given the special circumstances that the 1st and 2nd defendants generated and held out evidence that misled the plaintiff (and the earlier trial judge) into believing they were the employer, it was reasonable for the plaintiff to sue them; accordingly the court ordered that the 3rd defendant bear the costs of the plaintiff's claims (including those against the 1st and 2nd); the 1st and 2nd defendants were ordered to bear their own costs of defending the action; plaintiff's own costs to be taxed under Legal Aid Regulations; certificate for two counsel awarded.
