The Court awarded the defendant category 2B scale costs increased by $1,922.50 (a 50% uplift on specified interlocutory items) because the plaintiffs' procedural defaults caused unnecessary steps and expense; indemnity costs were denied because circumstances were not exceptional; the late without-prejudice offer made three working days before trial was reasonably declined and did not justify further uplift.
