1983 G. No. 20
and
MR PETER SCOTT, Q.C. MR J. GRIGGS and MR C. FALCONER (instructed by Messrs. Burges Salmon, Solicitors, Bristol) appeared on behalf of the Appellant.
MR ROBERT PRYOR, Q.C. and MISS J.R. MOSS (instructed by Messrs. Luttons, Solicitors, Gloucester) appeared on behalf of the Respondent (1st Defendant).
MR WILLIAM CROWTHER, Q.C. and MR J. SIMPKISS (instructed by Messrs. Wansbroughs, Solicitors, Bristol) appeared on behalf of the Respondent (2nd Defendant).
So far as the question of costs is concerned, we are entirely satisfied not only that it was reasonable for the plaintiff to join the second defendant as soon as the matter in paragraph 21 had been raised; but that it would have been extraordinarily ill-advised not to join the second defendant at that stage.
That being so, it is plain that we have a discretion with regard to the costs of all parties. We only mention this: that the note in the Annual Practice which suggests that a Bullock order will not be made when there are different causes of action (which is said to be supported by Mulready v. J.H. & W. Bell Ltd. and Anor (1953) 2 All Eng. Reps 215) is not sustained by that authority which deals with a very special case.
The true position is that the authority of the Court over costs is very wide, as is made clear in the recent case of Aiden Shipping Co. Ltd. v. Interbulk Ltd. (1986) 2 WLR, 1051.
The order will be as follows: The plaintiff recovers his costs, both here and below, against the first defendant including all such costs as were incurred as a result of the joinder of the second defendant.
The first defendant's suggestion that there should be any disallowance of full costs is rejected, as is also his suggestion that he should recover any costs against the plaintiff.
With regard to the second...
