Defendant awarded costs on a 2B scale with a 20% uplift (reduced from the 50% sought) because plaintiff unreasonably refused Calderbank offers, but uplift was reduced because defendant unreasonably denied and failed to admit that his agents distributed some of the plaintiff's private information; 20% of hearing time was allocated to this proceeding and costs and disbursements calculated accordingly.
