The court held the first and second costs orders imposed joint and several liability on the applicant and her co‑paying parties; the respondent was prima facie entitled to claim the entire taxed costs where the orders were silent as to apportionment; the applicant failed to discharge the burden to show special circumstances or separate causation to defeat joint and several liability; the statutory demand was not unjust or overstated and must not be set aside.
