The court declined to depart from the general rule that a withdrawing plaintiff should pay the defendant's costs because the defendant's pre‑action and in‑proceedings conduct was not unreasonable and delays were excusable; the court also held it had no basis to limit the defendant's recoverable costs to the amount of security for costs and ordered the plaintiff to pay the defendant's costs to be taxed if not agreed; certificate for two counsel was refused.
