- High Court
The memorandum annexing a draft defence and counterclaim was properly treated as incomplete written submissions under Schedule 3 cl 24, not as formal filed pleadings; accordingly the defendant was entitled to modest costs for the written submission and for filing the notice of opposition under cl 23. The court allowed a total of 1.6 scale days on a 2B basis (1 day under cl 24 and 0.6 days under cl 23) at $2,230/day, totalling $3,568.
