Plaintiffs must pay defendants' costs; defendants are entitled to a 50% uplift on scale costs for steps incurred after the 30 October 2008 Calderbank offer because plaintiffs unreasonably refused a materially better settlement; only a single costs allowance is appropriate for the three owner-defendants due to their community of interest; junior counsel allowance is justified given complexity; quantum of scale costs awarded is $50,520 with disbursements claimed of $22,418.78 to be agreed or fixed by the Registrar.
