The court held that the defendants (D1–D3), sued as executors and trustees, had acted unreasonably in opposing the amendment and had not sought Re Beddoe protection; therefore the costs of opposing the amendment and the hearing on 23 September 2008 (and the costs of the subsequent hearing) were not properly incurred on the estate and must be paid personally by D1–D3. The existing order nisi was otherwise not varied except as to specified items and carve-outs concerning costs incurred after 6 March 2008.
