- High Court
The Court concluded that the plaintiff's conduct (pursuing a separate proceeding after the Madeg decision, continuing the claim after an adverse judgment, and unreasonably refusing a significant Calderbank settlement offer) justified a substantial uplift above scale costs but did not warrant full indemnity; for finality the Court fixed costs at $91,430.16 in favour of the defendant.
