The High Court upheld the Environment Court's exercise of its broad s205 discretion: it was lawful to decide costs promptly without deferral where reasonable, to treat invoices addressed to a third party as costs incurred by the benefiting party on a purposive basis, to use District Court cost scales as guidance in quantum, and the specific monetary awards were not manifestly excessive.
