- High Court
Defendants are the successful party for costs of the plaintiffs' claim; no costs are awarded to the plaintiffs for the counterclaim because the counterclaim was parasitic on the claim and the result mirrored the defendants' 'walk away' settlement; defendants are entitled to 2B costs increased by 25% and recoverable disbursements for expert Mr Walker; costs for second counsel are declined.
