1. This is an application for costs of a summons issued on 7 July 2006.  The summons was settled except costs.  I heard the arguments on costs on 30 January 2007 and ordered the Defendants by original action and the Plaintiff by counterclaim (“the Defendants”) to pay the costs of the Plaintiffs by original action and the Defendants by counterclaim (“the Plaintiffs”) from 21 November 2006 to the conclusion of that hearing with reasons reserved.  These are my reasons.
