- High Court
Respondent awarded 2B scale costs calculated on 4.85 days totalling $11,591.50; indemnity costs and increased costs were declined because, viewed at the time, the appellants' counteroffer seeking removal of the asbestos pipe once the easement ended was not unreasonable and appellants did not, without reasonable justification, unnecessarily contribute to the time or expense of the appeal.
