The court dismissed the 1st Defendant's D1 summons and upheld the original costs order that the costs of the originating summonses be paid by the 1st Defendant personally on an indemnity basis because the Plaintiff was overall successful on the main issue (removal of the 1st Defendant as sole administrator) and the 1st Defendant's pre-litigation conduct (breaking an unequivocal promise and secretly obtaining grants) made indemnity costs appropriate; Elgindata principles did not justify depriving the Plaintiff of costs.
