The Court held that the removal application was necessary and in the beneficiaries' best interests and that the former executors had not acted in a way that made them personally liable for costs; therefore the estate must bear the defendants' reasonable costs of the removal application (assessed at $22,072.52 and $200 disbursements) while costs of the recall memorandum/application are to lie where they fall.
