1. The defendant applied to vary the costs order nisi I had made in favour of the plaintiff. It asked that it should have the costs of the action or that there should be no order as to costs. I refused the application and made the costs order absolute. I further ordered the costs of the defendant's application to be borne by the defendant to be taxed on a common fund basis. These are my reasons.
