Costs awarded to the successful appellant on scale 2B in the sum of $12,640 with reasonable disbursements; request for full solicitor/client (actual) costs refused because the high threshold for indemnity costs was not met; decision driven by the paramount welfare of the child (appellant's successful action substantially benefited the child), disparity of means, absence of conduct meriting denial or discount, and that the lost Family Court record did not disentitle appellant to recover costs the appeal required.
