Although the Insurer was not formally a party, its conduct in taking over the defence and its direct involvement with the Deed meant it was a party in substance; the Registrar did not err in awarding costs against the Insurer. The appeal is allowed in part: interlocutory costs awarded to the Plaintiff are to be taxable in any event (not forthwith); costs of complying with the discovery order are payable by the Insurer, taxable if not agreed; costs of the appeal are in the cause.
