Attendances and preparation for the 15 June 2015 case management conference (items 10, 11 and 13) were not caused solely by the security for costs application and would have been required for general case progression, so those items are excluded; an uplift is not warranted because the plaintiff's reliance on a technical defence did not extend hearing time or otherwise increase costs and the plaintiff was entitled to require proof under the security rule; accordingly defendants entitled to 2B costs excluding items 10, 11 and 13 and disbursements of $550, but no uplift was awarded.
