    Given the facts, the judge concluded that although there were serious procedural failures and disturbing conduct, the circumstances did not warrant ordering the solicitor to pay costs personally; the court entered judgment for the plaintiff but discharged the solicitor from personal liability for costs and referred the matters to senior judicial and professional bodies for study rather than disciplinary action.
