Court concluded that under s45(5) LSA costs would have been ordered on discontinuance; there was insufficient information to justify increased costs under r14.6(3) HCR, so costs on a 2B scale without uplift were appropriate; preparation (Item 32) properly includes written submissions; therefore plaintiffs would have been ordered to pay $18,642 costs plus $280 disbursements.
