The court held that the confusing employment arrangement was of the 1st defendant's own making, the plaintiff was reasonable in suing the 1st defendant and in discontinuing late given the circumstances, and therefore this constituted a rare circumstance to depart from the usual rule that costs follow the event; accordingly there should be no order as to costs between the plaintiff and the 1st defendant, with the plaintiff's own costs taxed under the Legal Aid Regulations.
