Re The Humber Iron Works Company: 12 Mar 1866

When the Court makes no order on a petition to wind up, the shareholders supporting it get no costs, and the shareholders resisting it get no costs unless personally assailed. But when the Court makes the winding-up order, the shareholders or creditors supporting it get one set of costs between them.
