    Court
    High Court

    The High Court ordered the body corporate to provide a detailed breakdown and explanation of its levy calculations (including whether levies include solicitor/client costs and issues of proportionality) before the Court will quantify the solicitor/client costs awarded by the Court of Appeal; the High Court fixed High Court summary judgment costs on a 2B basis as previously agreed; GST should be excluded from costs and disbursements where parties are GST registered.
