The court exercised its discretion to vary the order nisi: it held the defendant's without-prejudice save as to costs offers were admissible as Calderbank offers and the plaintiff failed to beat them, so costs incurred from 23 January 2020 were unnecessarily caused by the plaintiff's refusal; indemnity costs were not justified because there was no finding of scandalous, vexatious or malicious conduct, but common fund taxation was appropriate for costs from 23 January 2020; parties bear their own costs up to and including 22 January 2020; other costs consequences as ordered.
