Applicants awarded costs on a 2B scale with a 50% uplift because respondents issued statutory demands that should not have been issued, failed to withdraw them promptly, filed irrelevant voluminous material late, and thereby caused unnecessary litigation and expense; costs for preparing the costs application were reduced by limiting step 11 to 0.8 days; joinder of Ms Forester was declined as there was no evidence she was a trustee at the relevant time.
