    HCA836/2007

    Because the defendants did not demonstrate compliance with urgent requests or provide reliable evidence of an oral agreement to restrain issuance of the summons, and notification of payment was not conveyed to the plaintiff's solicitors in time, the court exercised its discretion to order the defendants to pay the plaintiff's costs of the summons on a party and party basis and to make a gross assessment of those costs at $5,000.
