The summonses were dismissed because they sought to re-open costs matters already litigated and rejected by the deputy judge and the Court of Appeal; allowing wasted costs or denial of costs would be a collateral attack and abuse of process; the court is functus officio with respect to the perfected costs orders, so taxation must proceed absent a proper basis to stay it.
