- High Court
No award of indemnity costs because there was insufficient evidential foundation to make findings of bad or very unreasonable conduct; however late discontinuance of serious interlocutory applications justified uplift above scale for wasted preparation (30% uplift to category 2C) and scale costs were awarded for successful interlocutory applications and for steps in each proceeding, with specified disbursements; the presumption under r15.23 was not displaced in absence of evidential basis to do so.
