The court exercised its discretion under section 67(2) to allow taxation out of time but maintained the previously imposed payment condition; it refused the plaintiffs' variation seeking payment into court only, tied compliance to either withdrawal/dismissal of the bankruptcy petitions or a validation order, required taxation to follow prompt compliance and barred the two bills from taxation if the condition is not met; costs were apportioned in light of partial success and the degree of variation requested.
