Because the LCRO is a quasi-judicial officer and the errors identified were limited to law and process rather than conduct that was perverse, oppressive or in bad faith, the court declined to make a costs order; costs against judicial/quasi-judicial officers are reserved for rare circumstances and are an expression of disapproval requiring a clear basis.
