    Increased or indemnity costs under r 14.6 were not warranted because the plaintiff's prior foreign judgment and an earlier judicial comment, while cautionary, did not make its conduct sufficiently unreasonable in relation to the present proceeding; accordingly defendants were awarded ordinary costs on a category 2 basis, disbursements and costs for the initial hearing but not indemnity costs.
