- Citation
- [2018] NZHC 52
- Court
- High Court
The public interest exception in r14.7(e) was not engaged because the proceedings were not of genuine public interest beyond the applicant's private interests and lacked serious merit; no evidence of financial hardship was provided so r14.7(g) did not justify refusal or reduction of costs; the air travel disbursement lacked necessary specificity and was disallowed; other disbursements met r14.12 and the respondent was awarded costs and disbursements totalling $12,321.66.
