- High Court
Both parties succeeded to some extent but the respondent achieved a greater measure of success and retained the bulk of the default judgment; accordingly costs were directed to lie where they fell for steps prior to 2 August 2016 and for the substantive hearing of 26 November 2016, while the appellant was awarded costs for the aborted 2 August 2016 hearing and for the cross-appeal on specified category 2B bases; two District Court costs awards were set aside because the judgment had been irregularly obtained.
