WAXMAN v CROUCH NO. 2 – COSTS [2016] NZHC 2913

Citation

[2016] NZHC 2913

Court

High Court

Because the parties enjoyed a relatively equal measure of success and failure on appeal, the appropriate exercise of the court's discretion was to let costs of the appeal lie where they fall; the appellant's submissions about the Points of Appeal did not justify departing from that outcome and the earlier substitution of ordinary costs for indemnity costs stands.

• Indemnity costs
• Ordinary costs
• Appeal costs
• Costs lie where they fall
