Because the petitioner failed to advance submissions justifying indemnity costs, the court ordered costs for the strike-out on the usual party-and-party basis; on the joinder application the court determined at Stage (1) it was not plain and obvious that the application was an abuse of process and therefore ordered that Stage (2) be fixed for further substantive consideration and directed parties to file agreed proposed directions within 21 days; consequential costs directions were made (orders nisi) for specified aspects.
