- High Court
The court declined to order non-party costs against Mr Tahiri because the conduct relied on accrued pre-commencement (generally irrelevant to costs), Mr Tahiri did not actively oppose the proceeding beyond an appearance at first call and ultimately supported liquidation, and the circumstances were not sufficiently exceptional or unfair to justify a personal costs order against a non-party.
