- High Court
No contempt order was made because, although defendants failed to comply with the Bottle Order, the Court had a reasonable doubt whether the defendants knowingly breached the order (insufficient proof they understood or intentionally ignored date‑stamp identification). The defendants are nevertheless ordered to pay plaintiff's costs on a 2B scale with a 75% uplift for unreasonable and dilatory conduct.
