Court exercised discretion to vary the Costs Order Nisi by applying an issue-based approach: defendant ordered to pay 65% of plaintiffs' costs of the inquiry (excluding separately ordered items); indemnity out of the estate limited because the defendant unreasonably contested certain categories so only 80% of costs ordered against him and his own inquiry costs are indemnifiable; costs of failed recusal application are to be borne personally by the defendant; costs of the adjourned hearing are to be borne by the defendant but indemnified from the estate; summary assessment ordered.
