£5500 COSTS AWARDED
HALL ESTATE CASE HEARING LASTED SEVEN WEEKS Costs amounting in the aggregate to about £5500 have been awarded by Mr Justice Callan to the defendants in the Hall estate case, in a reserved judgment dealing with legal costs for the seven weeks’ hearing at Gisborne. The plaintiffs in the case were beneficiaries in the estate of the late Frederick Hall. The defendants were the Guardian Trust and Executors’ Company of New Zealand, Ltd. Frank Wrey Nolan, the Bank of New Zealand, the' Union Bank of Australia, and Douglas Campbell Purdie. Mr Justice Callan delivered his judgment on the legal issues on July 18. but reserved the question of costs and also the form which the judgment should lake, having regard to the expressed desire of the plaintiffs to have the way left open to attempt to upset certain sales. These matters were argued on August 30, the discussion of costs concerning only the defendants other than Purdie, with whom the matter of his costs had been arranged previously.
