Given D1's intentional non-compliance with court orders and the incredible nature of his sworn explanations, the court exercised its broad discretion over costs, varied Part 1 of the Costs Order Nisi and ordered D1 to pay two‑thirds of the Plaintiff's Judgment Summons costs on an indemnity basis (to be summarily assessed together with the Relief Summons costs and paid forthwith); additionally D1 must pay the costs of the variation application on a party-and-party basis with one counsel; summary assessment to be conducted on the papers with specified filing timelines.
