Costs were awarded to the first respondents (executors) and to the second respondent on a 2B scale with a 50:50 division between executors and Mrs Johns for the appeal steps and full award to Mrs Johns for the case management conference; the appellant's impecuniosity did not justify departure from the High Court Rules; r14.15 limited but did not preclude separate awards where interests warranted; specific sums awarded: executors $6,572.50 plus $110 disbursements (total $6,682.50); Mrs Johns $7,767.50 plus $110 disbursements (total $7,877.50).
