- Court
- High Court
Auckland Council was entitled to costs against Man O'War Station Limited: specified items awarded on 2B and one item (preparation of submissions, item 56) on 2C; certification for second counsel at the hearing was appropriate. Environmental Defence Society was entitled to a separate costs award fixed at 60% of the Council award (reflecting overlap) but without certification for second counsel. No costs awarded for certain interlocutory items where duplication or lack of opposition justified no order.
