Court

High Court

The Court accepted that the respondent had validly reserved costs on consenting to discontinuance, that 'without prejudice save as to costs' communications were admissible on the issue of costs, that the applicant declined reasonable compromise offers, and that the specific items claimed were properly incurred; accordingly the Court exercised its discretion to award the respondent the claimed costs and disbursements (with a modest reduction for affidavit preparation) totaling $14,507.10.

Court

High Court

Interim relief was refused because applicant did not demonstrate a respectable chance of success; the decision not to grant or consider an interim visa was within the absolute discretion conferred by statute and was not procedurally unfair; processing delays were attributable to applicant's conduct; and execution of the deportation order despite uncompleted community service did not breach law or separation of powers as the Act only limits execution in respect of imprisonment.
