Court fixed substantive procedural steps 2, 8 and 9 at band 2C and all other steps at 2B; under r14.6(3)(a) increased the step 8 preparation allowance from two days to four days because preparation substantially exceeded the scale allowance; additionally increased the overall costs award by 15% to reflect the unique factor that the lease parties were correct and the litigation was brought by a third party despite objective support for the plaintiff's position; allowed second counsel for second defendant and separate costs awards for each defendant.
