The Court refused the defendant's application for increased costs under r 48C because the defendant did not establish sufficient unreasonableness in the plaintiff's conduct or refusal of offers; instead the Court awarded costs to the defendant on a 2B basis in the sum of $33,625 and allowed particular disbursements (full expert fees, travel, agency, telephone and courier charges) while disallowing ordinary photocopying and research charges as subsumed in the 2B allowance.
