The opposition by Clive was hostile and therefore falls within the category where costs are payable personally by the losing beneficiary; however, because Janet had pursued and later abandoned a separate guarantee application, her recoverable costs are reduced by 10%; the engagement of two counsel is not justified but a certificate for senior counsel is warranted; accordingly Clive must pay 90% of Janet's costs on a party and party basis, taxed if not agreed.
