Defendants were entitled to an award of costs but not the full amount sought; applying HCR 14.7 and bearing in mind parties' conduct and partial success, costs were reduced by 50%, resulting in costs of $10,592.50 to be paid by the plaintiff together with $250.00 disbursements; non‑statutory claims are excluded from costs recovery.
