    Court
    High Court

    Costs awarded to defendants on a 2B basis with specific items allowed and disallowed after review of the file and submissions; Calderbank offer did not result in indemnity costs because defendants did not previously quantify costs for steps after the offer and did not press the point sufficiently; earlier costs awarded to plaintiff could not be set off because they were awarded against a different defendant.
