Even if the starting point were 'no order as to costs' when the Board is joined, the court will exercise its discretion to order R2 to pay the Board's costs incurred since joinder because R2's persistent dishonest evidence, resistance to joinder and conduct at trial caused additional time and expense and justify departure from the starting point.
