Given the complexity of the subject matter (international reinsurance and accruals rules) and the reasonable need for extensive preparation, the court allowed an uplift for trial preparation but reduced the Commissioner's claimed 60 days to 50 days; upheld the Commissioner's banding for statements of defence; reduced claimed amounts for the first case management conference items 10 and 11 to $1,176 each; and allowed the full claimed expert disbursements as reasonable under r 14.12(2)(d).
