- Supreme Court
The Court applied the general rule that costs follow the event, rejected the appellant's characterisation of the result as a materially mixed outcome or as a test case, but exercised its r44(1) discretion to reduce the standard one-day costs because the appellant pursued the Authority forum and was compelled to the High Court; costs awarded to respondent at $13,300 plus disbursements $789.20.
