The application to vary the costs order nisi to permit summary assessment was refused because the defendants demonstrated an intention to substantially dispute the necessity and quantum of items in the statements of costs and the circumstances — including a four‑day taxation review and total claimed costs of about $200,000 — made summary assessment inappropriate; arguments based on pending appeals, stays, enforcement eagerness and competition law did not justify summary assessment, and the order nisi was made absolute.
