Costs were to be taxed on the High Court scale because, on the evidence reasonably available before commencement (including the first joint orthopaedic report), the plaintiff had a justified basis to bring the action in the High Court and could not be taken to have lacked a reasonable prospect of recovering above District Court jurisdiction; defendants had raised their position early and extension of time for their summons was granted but did not change the appropriate scale of taxation.
