Although the director of the companies being wound up was not himself a party to the winding up process, it was clear that he had exercised such entire control of them as to have treated them as an extension of himself. He had arranged for the proceedings to be resisted disregarding the interests of creditors, and for the purpose only of protecting his own personal reputation. In such circumstances it was proper to order him to pay the costs of the proceedings himself.
