    [1998] NZACC 39
    Court
    District Court

    The Court declined to decide the s72 interest issue because it was not before the Review Officer and no Corporation decision existed; exercised its discretion under District Courts Rules r45 to award partial costs of $650 plus travelling expenses of $150 rather than full solicitor-client costs, having regard to settlement and reasonableness.
