The court found the defendants repeatedly engaged in oppressive litigation conduct — raising late and unpleaded defences, abusing fiduciary relations, prolonging discovery and resisting trial — which constituted special features sufficient to justify an indemnity costs order against all defendants and as between defendants and the third party; accordingly the application to vary the costs nisi order was dismissed and the indemnity costs order confirmed.
