Court

High Court

The application for transfer and security for costs was resolved by the plaintiff's conditional agreement and trustees' undertaking; the circumstances did not justify increased costs above the 2B scale but the defendant was entitled to additional costs for preparing two costs memoranda (assessed as half a day on a 2B basis); accordingly costs were fixed at 2B plus disbursements totalling $2,801.13.
