Clause 3 of the DMC permits laying of pipes 'in, under or passing through the Land and Building' and therefore plaintiffs were partially correct on construction, but the specific declaration sought was not available because installation remained subject to management committee approval; exercising its discretion on costs the court departed from the simple 'costs follow the event' rule and ordered the plaintiffs to pay 60% of the defendant's costs of the action, to be taxed if not agreed, with no order as to costs on the submissions on costs.
