- High Court
Because the applicants persisted with unsubstantiated allegations of fraud despite prior judicial findings that there was no evidential basis, a 50% uplift on 2B costs is justified; a single shared costs order for respondents is appropriate but an additional one day allowance is warranted to reflect liaison between multiple respondents; indemnity of $1,410 for Westpac fees is allowed; disbursements of $160 are payable.
