RACHELLE v TEACHERS DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNAL - COMPLAINTS ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE [2020] NZHC 1395

Citation

[2020] NZHC 1395
Court

High Court

The documents filed by the appellant do not disclose any ground of appeal or viable civil claim and are rambling and argumentative; accordingly the purported proceedings are plainly an abuse of process and are struck out under High Court Rules 2016 r 5.35B.

FRANCISC CATALIN DELIU v NATIONAL STANDARDS COMMITTEE AND AUCKLAND STANDARDS COMMITTEE 1 OF THE NEW ZEALAND LAW SOCIETY [2018] NZHC 2171

Citation

[2018] NZHC 2171
Court

High Court

The court exercised its discretion to award costs to the Law Society: full costs for the liability appeal due to the appellant being unsuccessful and the factual complexity justifying certification for second counsel; 50% of the penalty appeal costs because the cross-appeal added little extra work; reasonable limited costs for the judicial review; and recovery of uncontested disbursements, while permitting respondents to uplift the security for costs.
