- High Court
The court allowed the plaintiff to withdraw the s26 correction application but ordered indemnity/scale costs to the defendants on the basis that there was no change or delay justifying abandonment at this stage; the court awarded 2B scale costs reduced in part by halving certain items to reflect actual interlocutory engagement, totalling $6,355, and expressly reserved leave for the defendants to apply later for an uplift based on Calderbank correspondence or other grounds.
