Because the proceedings were frivolous and vexatious, contained improper allegations (including allegations of fraud) and were conducted in a manner likely to cause unnecessary expense, the Court exercised its discretion under r48C(1) and (4) to award indemnity costs against David Stanley Heenan, Trevor Alan Lee and Pamela Joan Wadsworth jointly and severally; part payment by the Public Trustee fund was ordered in respect of Mr Heenan; and detailed breakdowns of costs were ordered from other successful defendants for approval.
