The liquidator succeeded in obtaining the production orders; non-parties who were served and who exercised the right to appear in opposition are properly subject to the court's costs discretion; having considered the opponents' arguments (jurisdiction, privacy safeguards, procedural history) the court found them insufficient to deny costs and awarded costs on a 2B basis plus disbursements and reasonable travel, fixed at $11,498.48 payable jointly and severally by David Ian Henderson and GP96 Ltd to the liquidator.
