- High Court
Because the liquidators were the named respondents in the s 284 application they could be personally liable for costs; the applicants were entitled to costs as the event followed in their favour; however increased costs were not justified because the liquidators' initial rejection was within a reasonable exercise of judgment in light of appellate caution and their reversal after affidavit was not culpably dilatory; costs were awarded personally against the liquidators on a 2B basis with no uplift and costs were not to be added to the applicants' proofs of debt.
