The 1st defendant's witness statement constituted an effective withdrawal of his defence amounting to default; because the plaintiff's claim against the defendants was non-severable and she had to prosecute the action at trial to obtain judgment against the defaulting transferee, the ordinary rule that defendants share joint and several liability for costs applies and there were no special circumstances to depart from that rule, so both defendants were ordered jointly and severally to pay the plaintiff's costs (with an order nisi as to the 1st defendant's costs of this application).
