The court refused to vary the costs nisi to indemnity costs because the plaintiffs' conduct and the nature of their case did not disclose the necessary special or unusual features; although the plaintiffs re-ran previously rejected arguments this alone was insufficient and there was a plausible reason to resist summary disposal (alleged oral promise), therefore indemnity costs were not appropriate and costs should follow the event in the usual way.
