Court

Court of Appeal

Where the Commerce Commission, in the public interest, merely assists the appellate court and represents the only effective opposition to an appeal against its own Part V determination, it should not ordinarily be ordered to pay adverse costs; this is a starting principle subject to the court's residual discretion and does not extend to further appeals by the Commission to the Court of Appeal.
