    The court exercised its discretion to vary the costs order nisi: it granted the Bank a certificate for two counsel, awarded the Bank the Costs of the Adjournment, and awarded the Bank 50% of the costs of the striking out application (including reserved costs) because Grounds 2 and specified matters of Ground 3, though reasonably raised, significantly increased the hearing; Energy's claims for the adjournment costs and two-thirds of striking out costs were rejected; costs of the variation applications awarded to the Bank to be taxed if not agreed.
