On the evidence, including identical retainer documents addressed to all three defendants, identical file references, the solicitors' conduct treating the three defendants as a single client, and uncontradicted affidavit/oral evidence, the retainers with both firms were properly construed as creating joint and several liabilities; accordingly the Plaintiff's liability for costs was not limited to one‑third and D2 is entitled to indemnity for the whole taxed costs as appropriate.
