"(i) The over-arching result was complete victory for the defendant on all issues.(ii) The issues upon which the defendant succeeded were, by some margin the most important ones and those upon which the greater part of the resources of time and effort had been expended by the parties.
(iii) This was a commercial case of a complexity which almost inevitably meant that no side would be successful on each and every area of dispute.
(iv) The defendants had not taken a 'kitchen sink 'approach to the litigation as a whole which is evidenced by the settlement [of various issues]."
