The court declined to award the full increased uplift sought but found applicants' procedural failures required a limited adjustment: treat matter as Category 2 Band B, start point $9,950, and allow a 50% uplift on the two-day allowance for abandoned/additional steps equivalent to one extra day ($1,990), producing an award of $11,940 plus disbursements fixed by the Registrar; applicants' opposition to increased costs otherwise lacked sufficient justification to deny the award.
