- High Court
The High Court's costs order contained accidental calculation slips (incorrect half‑day rate $113 instead of $226 and an incorrect multiplier of three instead of 13 qualifying half days); correcting those errors and exercising the s 5 discretion (considering but not applying significant reductions for momentary appearances or defendant behaviour) yields a just and reasonable scale costs award of $2938 plus the previously awarded disbursement of $1874.40, to be paid by the Ministry of Justice to the respondent.
