The 2nd Defendant unreasonably maintained its defence and resisted the plaintiff despite having early notice of forgery, declining straightforward verification of title, issuing demands treating the plaintiff as borrower, and engaging in third party proceedings that kept the plaintiff in litigation. Those cumulative actions constituted special or unusual circumstances justifying taxing the plaintiff's costs against the 2nd Defendant on an indemnity basis, except for the costs of the hearing on 21 January 2008 which remain on party and party basis.
