The applicants sought costs of $18,000 on a partial indemnity basis, or alternatively no costs, following an application where they were largely successful in being removed as trustees of a Henson trust but unsuccessful in seeking directions to sell a farm.
The respondent sought partial indemnity costs of $30,555.90 payable by the applicants from their shares of the estate.
The court found there was divided success and ordered that no costs be awarded.
