The appeal raised the question whether, when a receiver appointed under a bank charge causes an insolvent company to sue, the action is unsuccessful and the successful party is unable to recover costs against the company, the successful party may recover the costs from the receiver under the jurisdiction in section 51 of the Supreme Court Act 1981 to award costs against a non-party.
