Court

High Court

Costs of the interlocutory applications are fixed at $23,826.73 for each of the fourth and fifth third parties but, because the defendant has promptly sought review and a hearing is allocated, that pending review constitutes a special reason to defer payment; applications for increased costs and additional costs for costs submissions are refused.
