Costs in the cause
An informed analysis, instead of merely 'costs' - of the difference between costs in the cause or in any event : costs follow the rvent, standard & indemnity costs in English litigation might also lead onto the 'right path'.
Costs 'on the merits' begs the question of the merits of what.

Costs in the cause. The court will commonly order that the costs of a preliminary or interim hearing will be \'costs in the cause\'. This means that the costs of the preliminary hearing will be paid by the party that ultimately loses the case
Costs in any event -The party in whose favour the Order is made, will recover their legal costs of the interim hearing from the other side irrespective of who wins at the final hearing.

Could it be "ordered the defendants to pay costs"?
