The 2nd defendant's application to set aside the costs order was refused because it was out of time and there was no reasonable prospect of success: impecuniosity is not a valid ground, the 2nd defendant had previously engaged in proceedings and maintained denial of the plaintiff's claim, and therefore the original costs incidence stands; the court amended the August 11 2022 order under its slip rule to substitute 'a partner of the Plaintiff's solicitors' for 'the Registrar of the High Court' to reflect current practice, and made no order as to costs for the subsequent summonses.
