The respondent failed to establish a real and probable risk that the applicants would misuse the accounting records; the court has jurisdiction to award costs on withdrawal; exceptional circumstances existed because the respondent itself removed the applicants as directors after undue delay in advancing its evidence and could have removed them earlier, thereby rendering the application moot; therefore leave to withdraw was granted and costs were awarded to the applicants.
