Both the claim and the 2nd defendant's counterclaim arose from the same issue (the accuracy of the 2012 Survey); the plaintiff's claim was misconceived (including limits on public liability under clause 33 and that the wrong defendant was sued) and the plaintiff's expert failed to prove the 2006 Survey was more accurate; therefore costs arise solely from the plaintiff's chosen dispute and the 2nd defendant is entitled to all costs.
