The court found no negligence: the defendant did not give specific instructions to pursue security for costs and accepted counsel's advice not to pursue it; counsel's tactical and practical reasons for advising against the application were reasonable and within the standard of a competent solicitor; consequently the defendant is not entitled to the claimed set-off and the plaintiff succeeds on the fees claim subject to taxation of the bill.
