The High Court allowed the appeal in part, holding that under the settlement agreement's wording obligating appellants to pay 'any and all sums required to be paid ... to complete the Remedial Work' the engineer's fees and the itemised other costs were recoverable; the $59,000 labour/materials figure was wrongly included and an arithmetic error in combined settlement payments was corrected; the District Court judgment of $265,156.44 was quashed and replaced with a judgment for $190,117.54, with interest and costs awarded and appellants entitled to appeal costs on a 2B basis.
