- High Court
The caveat was unsubstantiated and the caveator failed to comply with directions and pursue reasonable avenues to resolve the dispute; given the modest, straightforward estate and unnecessary delay and expense caused by the caveat, an uplift of 50% on 2B scale costs is warranted and those costs should be paid from the caveator's share of the estate.
