The court refused a broad pre-emptive costs order but directed the applicant in its capacity as executor and trustee under the Will to clarify its capacities, seek joinder of the trustee of Karen Trust if not yet joined, remain neutral by filing a defence submitting to the court's directions and making discovery, and held that all reasonable costs properly incurred in that neutral role are to be borne by the estate; other pre-emptive protection was denied and parties granted liberty to apply.
