Second and third defendants are entitled to costs on a 2B scale with disbursements to be fixed by the Registrar; no uplift on scale costs is justified; an award of 2B costs for discovery and inspection is appropriate but limited to the actual costs incurred for those steps and the defendants must file a memorandum confirming actual costs; the plaintiff's arguments did not establish an 'other reason' under r14.7(g) to reduce costs.
