Lockhart was entitled under r 8.22 to have Mr Lobb pay its actual and reasonable costs and disbursements of complying with the discovery order because Lockhart acted reasonably, had no interest in the litigation after removal as trustee, and it would be manifestly unjust for it to bear those costs; additionally Lockhart is entitled to be indemnified from the Lothbury Trust assets for reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred acting on behalf of the trust, subject to agreement or court determination of quantum.
