- DCEC154/2000
Although the 1st respondent's conduct justified indemnity costs, the parties had agreed a single basis for taxation for both the 1st respondent and the third party and the third party was significantly less culpable and owed no insurer duty; because the court could not award different bases between them, the fair and just solution was to order costs to the 2nd respondent to be paid by the 1st respondent and the third party on a common fund basis.
