Costs were refused because the settlement did not resolve the central question whether the land was landlocked, the court lacked the factual basis (notably the amount of compensation and practical differences between offers and settlement) to compare offers with the outcome, and therefore could not properly assess claims of unreasonable conduct or intransigence bearing on costs.
