The master's conclusion that the summons was not bound to fail was not an error of law, but because the summons was withdrawn for academic reasons (settlement) and the summons included unnecessary items causing wasted costs, the correct exercise of discretion required ordering the defendants to pay 25% of their costs of the withdrawn summons rather than ordering the plaintiffs to pay the defendants' costs.
