GLOVER TRUST LTD and ORS v GLOVER TRUST CORPORATION LTD and ANOR [2014] NZHC 1712
- Citation
- [2014] NZHC 1712
- Court
- High Court
CIT was entitled to costs and, while the defendant’s conduct was unreasonable and caused delay, it did not reach the threshold for indemnity costs; the conduct did justify an increased costs award (50% uplift on scale) because Glover No 2 failed to act expeditiously or seek a stay and registered caveats without notice, thereby necessitating additional court involvement.
