- Court
- High Court
Indemnity costs were refused because the allegations of vexatious or improper conduct rested on untested evidence and did not warrant adverse findings; r 14.6(3)(c) did not apply because the proceedings were not of general importance beyond the parties; a modest increase for additional preparation was warranted ($4,000); specific 2B items were adjusted and, after deducting $1,990 for Skellerup's costs memorandum, Skellerup was ordered to pay Precise $35,442.
