The court ordered costs to follow the event in favour of the plaintiff on a standard basis because the plaintiff succeeded on its Order 27 alternative, the defendant unreasonably failed to engage with the plaintiff's without prejudice save as to costs offer dated 16 September 2019, and although the defendant was intransigent this did not amount to conduct warranting indemnity costs; therefore standard costs to plaintiff, taxed if not agreed.
