The proceeding to set aside a statutory demand was not routine; therefore costs were properly classified in category 2 and awarded on a 2B basis.

The Court exercised its discretion to decline the plaintiff's costs application because the plaintiff and defendants had overlapping interests and could have been jointly represented; only one costs award was appropriate against the insurer; the preliminary questions application was interlocutory but the determination was substantive between defendants and the third party, so costs were assessed on a Category 2B basis using Schedule items and a 20% reduction for the issue on which the third party succeeded, resulting in an order that QBE pay $20,248.64 to the defendants.
