- High Court
The plaintiff had no proper basis for the pre-commencement discovery application as shown by its own draft statement of claim; the defendants voluntarily provided disclosure but were entitled to seek costs and security for costs given the plaintiff's position; accordingly defendants were entitled to an award of costs assessed at doubled scale 2B for a successful interlocutory application (half day), resulting in $13,532 payable by the plaintiff to the defendants.
