The Master did not err: defendants were the unsuccessful parties as the security summons was withdrawn; their application was not reasonably put in order because contemporaneous evidence (writ address, Hong Kong ID) made their case tenuous and their property ownership search produced an incorrect result which they relied upon; plaintiff's conduct was not so unreasonable as to justify depriving her of costs or ordering her to pay defendants' costs; accordingly the Costs Order in favor of the plaintiff stands and the appeal is dismissed.
