LITTLE & ORS v JULL [2014] NZHC 871
- Citation
- [2014] NZHC 871
- Court
- High Court
Costs were awarded on a High Court 2B basis because the proceedings involved complex factual and legal issues (securities, company law, limitations, equity), raised a novel and publicly important question of director liability under s 37(6) Securities Act 1978, and therefore were properly dealt with in the High Court despite the final judgment being within the District Court monetary limit; contested cost items were allowed or disallowed as detailed and overall costs and disbursements were awarded to the plaintiffs.
