- High Court
The plaintiffs were ordered to meet 2degrees' actual and reasonable legal costs because 2degrees reasonably responded to a broad, inadequately defined non‑party discovery application that risked disclosure of commercially sensitive information to a major competitor; the scope and commercial ramifications justified 2degrees' protective, comprehensive approach and the time and rates incurred were not excessive, applying High Court Rules r 8.22(3).
