The plaintiff's four causes of action were struck out as untenable; costs were awarded to the defendant and to Mrs Evans on the whole proceeding under r14.2(a); an uplift of 50% was imposed in favour of Mrs Evans because the plaintiff made irrelevant personal attacks against her in the proceedings, but no uplift was awarded to the defendant and self-representation did not justify increased costs; certain unsuccessful interlocutory applications attract no costs; the judgment sets a mechanism for recovering costs from the estate residue by adjusting beneficiaries' shares.
