The summary judgment application was misconceived and doomed to fail because there was no evidence the defendant submitted to the Chinese jurisdiction and the pleadings lacked clarity; accordingly the usual practice of reserving costs was displaced and the first defendant was entitled to costs now, with specific allowances and disallowances as to particular interlocutory steps, resulting in an award of $13,134 plus disbursements $108.80.
