Each side enjoyed substantially equal success; applicant's settlement offers did not meet r14.11(3) and were late; the proceeding did not warrant 3B categorisation and is assessed at category 2B; applicant irresponsibly maintained serious unproven allegations without timely discovery which justifies an uplift, but because respondents delayed disclosure the uplift is reduced to 25%; resulting costs award is $12,000 to the liquidators and disbursements $2,640.89 to the applicant; no costs awarded to the applicant.
