Where a successful party advances and succeeds on two alternative grounds it is not entitled to be deprived of costs for either ground absent unreasonableness; the knowing receipt argument was reasonably run and supported both the appeal outcome and aspects of the cross-appeal, so the Bank must pay 100% of Akai's costs of the Bank's appeal and Akai must pay 100% of the Bank's costs of Akai's unsuccessful cross-appeal, with detailed apportionment, if any, to be resolved on taxation.
