- High Court
Scale costs on a combined 2A and 2B basis were awarded rather than actual costs because many documents were identical across the two files (warranting reduced allowance for duplicated items), the files were case managed together (limiting appearances claimable), and there was no basis to depart from scale; resulting scale amount $17,208 divided equally to $8,604 per file plus disbursements $1,266 each.
