The discontinuance filed between the consolidated claim plaintiffs and defendants did not bind the sixth and seventh third parties; discontinuance does not by itself remove liability for costs under r 15.21(3); consequently the sixth and seventh third parties, having defended the claims against them, were entitled to an award of category 2B costs plus reasonable disbursements, with costs of the separate summary judgment proceedings excluded because that application was withdrawn by consent on a no‑costs basis.
