The Master and the court properly found, on the available evidence, that the 2nd to 5th defendants were the prime movers who used the company to oppose the joinder application for the improper purpose of avoiding personal liability for legal costs; that improper purpose justified making a costs order against them under Order 62 r6A and s52A Cap.4, therefore the appeal is dismissed and the Master's costs order is upheld.
