- High Court
The Court was satisfied on review of invoices and summaries that the plaintiffs' charges were reasonably incurred, not excessive, and not obviously duplicative; communications with VATL and settlement efforts were integral to responding to the defendant's application. Accordingly the full claimed indemnity costs and disbursements were awarded and ordered paid from the defendant's share of the Trust, and VATL was authorised to deduct monies held on trust to satisfy its award.
