The Court ordered indemnity costs in both appeals: in CACV 431/2018 the defendant was ordered to pay indemnity costs to the plaintiffs because the defendant's appeal was incompetent; in CACV 338/2018 the plaintiffs were ordered to pay indemnity costs to the defendant because binding precedents require indemnity costs where a party fails to set aside an arbitral award; costs below in HCCT 54/2017 to be taxed on an indemnity basis.
