KIDD v VAN HEEREN [2015] NZHC 1572
- Citation
- [2015] NZHC 1572
- Court
- High Court
Indemnity costs were refused because the defendant's challenge to whether issue estoppel arose from the South African judgment was a legitimate and non-vexatious defence; however the costs of preparing the second amended statement of claim filed after the South African judgment are recoverable now because that pleading was necessary context for the interlocutory application and significantly overlapped with preparation for the application.
