Court

High Court

The court disallowed the specific $1,194.00 claimed for preparing the bundle of authorities because the applicant bore the initial obligation under r 7.39(3) and, given the applicant was self-represented, the defendant should have communicated the requirement rather than assume entitlement to reimbursement; the remainder of the category 2B costs and disbursements were allowed, yielding an award to the defendant of $7,264.75 plus $108.08 disbursements.
