Court

High Court

The liquidators were the successful party because the receivers provided the material sought and the withdrawal followed that provision; respondents (former receivers) ordered to pay applicants' costs on a scale 2B basis as an interlocutory application; uplift and indemnity costs refused and recovery for in-house counsel allowed on the basis of equivalent external cost replacement.

High Court

Costs were awarded to the liquidators despite withdrawal because the s266 application was properly made, the liquidators had reasonable grounds to seek the records, the respondents only cooperated to the extent legally obliged, the applicants were not to be discouraged from withdrawing, and an uplift was not merited where the applicants had cast their net too wide; costs fixed at $2,632 with disbursements $612.25.
