- High Court
The Court allowed the plaintiffs' claimed costs with specific modifications: discovery costs were allowed per plaintiff at the lowest scale (1A) because defendants required separate affidavits; double costs for inspection and evidence were allowed because separate preparation was required for claim and counterclaim; no uplift was awarded for rejection of the Calderbank offer because rejection was reasonably justified; a 50% contribution to the plaintiffs' expert valuation costs was allowed as relevant to issues on appeal and the counterclaim.
