The court held that R2 is entitled to a full indemnity from R1 under s.24(2) including costs, but exercised its inherent jurisdiction to stay execution of the indemnity order as justice required pending determination of R1's substantive claim against its insurer Ming An, given the close practical relationship between R2 and Ming An and the substantial, viable insurer dispute; R1 must pursue its insurer claim within a set time and pay interest at half judgment rate during the stay.
