Indemnity costs denied because respondent's conduct was not sufficiently flagrant; increased costs of 50% awarded (under r 14.6(3)(b)(ii)) on a category 2A base because there was a reasonable argument against the debt and the statutory demand was used, at least in part, as a debt collection tactic; award includes costs for costs memorandum and sealing order.
