- Citation
- DOLPHIN ADVERTISING LTD v. TRONKEN ENTERPRISES LTD
- Court
- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA2409/2006
Application dismissed at the first stage: section 52A does not extend to ordinary negligence or mere incompetence in conduct of litigation; wasted costs are limited to conduct amounting to improper, unreasonable acts or misconduct beyond ordinary errors of judgment, and continuing a hopeless case without evidence of ulterior motive or assisting an abuse of process does not justify a wasted costs order; therefore no wasted costs order should be made on the material before the court.
