- High Court
The court exercised its discretion to award costs to the Law Society: full costs for the liability appeal due to the appellant being unsuccessful and the factual complexity justifying certification for second counsel; 50% of the penalty appeal costs because the cross-appeal added little extra work; reasonable limited costs for the judicial review; and recovery of uncontested disbursements, while permitting respondents to uplift the security for costs.
