- High Court
The Court denied indemnity and increased costs and costs on costs because the alleged misconduct was contested, much related to conduct predating the originating application, and not obvious or incontrovertible; the streamlined nature of notice-of-claim proceedings meant 2B scale costs were appropriate with small time additions (0.4 and 0.2 days), resulting in an award of 2B costs and disbursements of $8,313 to the applicant.
