The judge’s award of indemnity costs and use of the High Court scale was overturned because the judge acted on a misapprehension of material facts (failing to appreciate that the applicant and 1st/2nd respondents genuinely believed earlier legal advice) and gave no reasons for High Court scale; costs were re-ordered to party-and-party on the District Court scale with a 50% reduction of costs recoverable by the 3rd-10th respondents, and no order as between the applicant and the 1st and 2nd respondents.
