The judgment concentrates on the court's exercise of its costs jurisdiction in relation to two interrelated summonses: the defendants' application to vary the order nisi and the plaintiff's strike-out application. The court framed the issues around the adequacy of pleading of a contractual indemnity and whether the order nisi required variation, and applied the ordinary principles that costs follow the event and that insufficiently particularised defences may be struck out; the specific operative orders are not contained in the excerpt provided.
