Where plaintiffs promptly discontinued proceedings against the fourth defendant upon receipt of affidavit evidence undermining their earlier brief, they did not persist with a hopeless case; indemnity costs were refused and the fourth defendant was awarded costs on a 2B basis with adjusted time allowances (1.5 days for commencement of defence, 0.5 day for hearing) and specified itemised amounts; disbursements fixed by the registrar were also allowed.
