Applicant awarded costs on a 2B basis as the successful party; no uplift awarded because respondent's rejection of offers did not meet the threshold for unreasonable conduct justifying uplift; respondent not entitled to be indemnified from estate assets for legal costs of resisting the applicant's claims because she had charged unreasonable expenses to the estate, provided incomplete/misleading disclosures and was conflicted, making her removal justified; respondent ordered to meet costs of this costs application.
