The court fixed solicitor-client costs at $62,500 and disbursements at $1,680.56 because, applying Black v ASB Bank Ltd and r 14.6, the claimed amount was reasonably incurred given the size and complexity of the underlying claim, the defendant's conduct, the necessity of the tasks undertaken and the supporting invoices, and after accounting for commercial reductions and write-offs.
