The court exercised its discretion to vary the costs order nisi and award indemnity costs to the 2nd defendant to be assessed by summary assessment because the claim against the liquidator disclosed no reasonable cause of action, had features identified in prior authorities as special/unusual (act done in role as liquidator, risk of double jeopardy, unjust for liquidator or creditors to bear shortfall), and the plaintiffs failed to identify substantial grounds to prevent summary assessment; the costs of the application follow the same indemnity and summary-assessment basis.
