- High Court
Because no timely appeal was brought the matter ceased to be public interest and became the appellant's private interest; the appellant lost and therefore should pay costs on the 2B scale to the Council; GST on the claimed scale was not recoverable; accordingly the appellant was ordered to pay the Council $12,786.50 and any security paid may be released to the Council in partial satisfaction of that liability.
