- High Court
No uplift was awarded because the appellant had a genuine dispute and right of appeal, the settlement offer did not provide what he sought and was difficult to value, and thus the requisite unreasonableness for increased costs under r 14.6(3)(b)(v) was not established; costs for the costs application were declined as a discretionary matter not warranting an award.
