The court refused to vary the costs order because the plaintiff could not unilaterally treat the agreement as non‑chargeable before a court ruling or adjudication by the Stamp Duty Office; failure to have the instrument stamped or adjudicated prior to the hearing justified awarding costs to the defendant for the preliminary issue, in line with the cited authority.
