The applicants were successful in an application to determine entitlement to life insurance proceeds.
They sought costs of $26,568.93, relying on a Rule 49 offer to settle that they beat.
The respondents argued no costs should be payable because two of the applicants allegedly abandoned their claims.
The court rejected the respondents' argument, found the costs sought to be reasonable, and awarded the applicants their full costs of $26,568.93.
