Rule 15.23 creates a rebuttable presumption that a discontinuing plaintiff must pay costs; the plaintiffs did not discharge the onus to displace that presumption and therefore the second and third defendants are entitled to costs on a 2B basis; costs relating to the ex parte search and discovery application are to lie where they fall.
