Increased costs were not justified because the principal arguments advanced by the Second Respondent (contractual interpretation of the GSA and scope of exempt collateral) were arguable and required judicial consideration; peripheral objections did not materially inflate costs. There was no sufficient basis to refuse or reduce costs. The applicant is awarded standard scale costs of $10,865.50 and disbursements of $940.75.
