LCIL was entitled to costs for the interlocutory application because GLW pursued an unnecessary and meritless application to redeem the mortgage on a 'without prejudice' basis that effectively sought final relief and relitigated earlier findings; indemnity costs were declined because GLW's conduct was not egregious, but increased costs (scale 2B uplifted 50%) were warranted to reflect the unnecessary step and wasted costs, totalling $9,868.50.
