High Court rules that a finance company, having been "entirely successful" in their application, is entitled to an order for costs against the defendants, who were wholly unsuccessful in resisting the application, and the costs order will be on a joint and several basis, meaning the defendants are collectively responsible for the costs incurred by the finance company; but the court grants a stay on the execution of the costs order against one set of defendants pending the determination of ongoing proceedings in the High Court, while no stay was granted for the other defendant who had already unsuccessfully appealed.
