There was no binding agreement on costs because the defendant's acceptance was conditional and the plaintiff's response rejected that condition, amounting to a counter‑offer that was not accepted. The Court exercised its discretion under the High Court Rules and awarded costs to the defendant on a Category 2C basis with a modest uplift of $1,000 to reflect additional work in responding to the ex parte originating application, resulting in costs of $14,920 and disbursements of $827.50 payable by the plaintiff.
