The writ was issued without authority and was set aside; Tang and Foo were not shown to be representative plaintiffs because representative status was not indorsed on the writ nor properly pleaded, and even if representative they would not be exempt from personal liability for costs; accordingly the action was dismissed and costs were ordered against Tang and Foo (with a temporal limitation on Foo's liability).
