- High Court
Costs awarded to defendants on the summary judgment application because the defendants' buy-out offer, viewed in substance and including minor refinements made during the hearing, cured the plaintiffs' complaints and therefore the plaintiffs lost the proceeding; however specific costs claims were disallowed where linked to corporate defendants' written submissions, counterclaims, or duplicated work and limited allowances were made for shareholder defendants' items.
