WCL should have ascertained and applied the cl 27 limitation in the Guarantee before issuing or persisting with the statutory demand; issuing a demand for the full amount Podular owed without accounting for amounts received by Lumen was unreasonable and justified an increased costs award of 2B scale with a 50% uplift, resulting in costs of $16,132.50 and disbursements of $498.81 to be paid by WCL to Lumen.
