Costs were fixed against all plaintiffs jointly and severally. The proceedings warranted Category 2 (not Category 3) and time band B. An uplift of one third (33.33%) was justified because the plaintiffs unnecessarily increased time and expense (late bundles, excessive objectionable evidence, poor presentation). Costs payable: defendants 1,3,4,5 and 6 $57,152 plus disbursements; defendant 2 $37,662.66 plus disbursements; uplift for second defendant limited to preparation time as acknowledged.
