High Court rules in favour of the plaintiff regarding the legal costs of a discovery motion, affirming the plaintiff's entitlement to recover costs from the defendants. The court also decided to impose a stay on the execution of the costs order until the conclusion of the main proceedings, despite the defendants' criticisms of the initial judgment. The plaintiff's additional costs incurred due to the defendants' written submissions will also be recoverable. The original decision of the Deputy Master was discharged, and the costs are to be adjudicated if no agreement is reached.
