    Because the petitioning debt had been paid in full before determination, the petition was dismissed. The court properly exercised its power under Bankruptcy Rules r.32A(1)(b) to assess costs on a gross sum basis, found the petitioner's statement of costs sufficiently detailed for a gross assessment, reduced the solicitors' fees for excessive/duplicative work, and fixed the debtor's liability for costs at a gross sum of $52,800.00.
