The third defendant was entitled to a separate award of costs because it was a distinct legal entity that filed its own statement of defence, made separate discovery (including a separate affidavit), and incurred distinct attendances for case management and inspections; there was no material double charging with the first and second defendants, and therefore costs were awarded to each defendant in the specified sums.
