Costs were fixed immediately; indemnity costs were refused because there was no flagrant misconduct and the applicants' case, while of limited likelihood of success, was not hopeless; increased costs were awarded because the interlocutory application required substantially more time than band B allowed and lacked sufficient merit when assessed on the evidence; costs assessed as category 2 with a 2C baseline and a 75% uplift, resulting in costs of $28,834.99 and disbursements of $110 to each respondent.
