- High Court
Second counsel costs were denied because the proceeding and the manner it was conducted did not exhibit the unusual complexity or in‑trial demands required to certify second counsel: the case lasted five days, evidence and arguments were known in advance, and defendants did not demonstrate substantial in‑trial work by second counsel.
