Indemnity costs were not justified because respondents' misconduct was not flagrant; s 178(9) permits consideration of some pre-proceeding conduct but Part 14 principles apply by analogy; applicant entitled to 2B scale costs with a 25% uplift limited to the originating application/affidavit and interlocutory application/memorandum filed 15 September 2021 (3.1 days, $9,261.25), plus 2B costs for further attendances (1.1 days, $2,629), disbursements $928, and no award for costs on costs — resulting in a total award of $12,818.25 to the applicant.
