- Court
- High Court
The Crown, as the successful party, was entitled to costs on a 2B basis; the Crown's pre-litigation hybrid redzone offer did not equate to an award of damages and the Crown discharged its measured duty by making that offer; an uplift to preparation for briefs was justified due to complexity and expert evidence; expert disbursements were awarded in reduced form after independent review and adjustments.
