DECISION ON COSTS
________________________________
1. There is no disagreement by the defendant that there had been various actions taken by the plaintiffs to resolve these matters amicably prior to the institution of these proceedings.
2. I am unable to agree with the defendant that his duty as a trustee was in any way conditional such that he was entitled not to comply with the request by the beneficiaries to have the share in question transferred to them.
3. In the circumstances, it is clearly right for the defendant to pay the costs of these proceedings and I so order.
