The application for pre-emptive costs and for a pre-emptive advance or distribution from the trust fund is dismissed because this is private hostile trust litigation without public interest, pre-emptive awards are exceptional, and established authorities and the High Court Rules require costs to follow the event absent very strong reasons which are not present here (plaintiffs' modest means and arguable case insufficient).
