Award costs to defendants: allocate band C for steps relating to the interlocutory strikeout application and preparation of written submissions and band B for other steps; reduce defendants' subtotal by 20% to reflect unsuccessful strikeout of the PRA claim; apply a 40% uplift to the resulting subtotal because plaintiffs unreasonably pursued time-barred TPA and FPA claims and failed to act reasonably; award $892 for the costs memorandum (2B scale 0.4 day).
