    The interim costs order was varied to an absolute order requiring respondent to pay costs relating to the compensation assessment, but the court rejected the applicant's method of claiming $1,500 per attendance and the piecemeal approach; applied Order 62 r28A(3) to fix the recoverable hourly rate at $200 and, after a summary assessment for the 25–26 Feb hearings including preparation time, awarded $4,000 for those hearings while leaving all other costs to be agreed or assessed by the court; no order as to costs of the present application.
