The court refused to vary the costs order nisi. It held that the claimant's case was not frivolous or malicious nor were there special circumstances justifying an award of costs against her. Section 73B(3) of the District Court Ordinance applies and, having found the respondents had not complied with Order 22 for sanctioned offers and the evidence did not support adverse inferences from EOC withdrawal, the costs order nisi was made absolute so each party bears its own costs.
