Cumulative special features — obtaining and maintaining an ex parte Mareva injunction based on miscalculated restraint, concealment of material facts and source of funds, repeated defaults and delays, wilful non-compliance with discovery orders and suppression or misleading of evidence — constituted an abuse of process and an affront to the court; those facts justified departing from ordinary party-and-party costs and ordering costs on an indemnity basis against all plaintiffs; Susan Johnson's affirmations excluded as inadmissible hearsay when used to establish plaintiffs' motives.
