- Court
- District Court
The Court substituted its discretion on re-hearing, found the respondent gave no adequate contemporaneous reasons for the $12,500 contribution, accepted assessor and case manager recommendation range ($15,000–$20,000), rejected the notion that four-wheel drive necessarily increases cost, and held a fair contribution is $17,500; respondent must pay the additional $5,000 and costs.
