Plaintiff was not entitled to full District Court costs because on the available evidence the likely PSLA and overall quantum fell within the Small Claims Tribunal jurisdiction, and the plaintiff's solicitor failed to research comparable authorities or substantiate loss of earnings; however limited pre-action solicitor costs were appropriate and awarded totaling $9,000, and defendants were awarded half the costs of the hearing limited to 3 hours to be taxed if not agreed.
