The judge's disclosed forestry investment holding NZUs did not create presumptive or apparent bias because any effect of the judicial review on the ETS or the value of NZUs was speculative and remote; accordingly recusal was declined. NIWA was entitled to costs on category 2 time band C, uplifted by 50% for wasted preparation, resulting in $85,091.00 plus disbursements $4,147.90 (total $89,238.90). NIWA may pursue any application for non-party costs against Messrs Brill and Dunleavy by formal application.
