A charitable trust had been established. Protracted disputes had taken place, and the burden of the costs required to be apportioned. The financial practices of the charity had been informal leading to confusion, and dissension. An intervention by the Charity Commission had been opposed. The judge had refused an order that the trustees who had been removed should be indemnified from the fund.
Held: The order made was within the discretion available to the judge. He had obtained all the necessary information about the matter. The appeals entered into by the applicants had no possible benefit for the charity. It was pointless, and there was no reason for the applicants to be indemnified in costs.
