- High Court
Recusal application refused; the court has jurisdiction to quantify solicitor-client costs under the contractual indemnities and, on objective assessment of scope and reasonableness supported by invoices and time records, the claimed costs were principally recoverable but a duplicated half-day hearing fee of $1,600 was excluded; costs quantified at $106,421.95 (less GST if plaintiff is GST-registered) with interest at 10% p.a., and Registrar directed to seal the judgment accordingly.
