    CLAYTON v CLAYTON CA438/2013 [2015] NZCA 330

    [2015] NZCA 330
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    The Court ordered payment of the agreed costs and release of security because the sums are minor relative to the wider unresolved litigation, the Family Court maintenance payments were not earmarked for specific costs orders and may not negate the separate costs award, the respondent maintained her actual costs exceeded the maintenance payments, and any necessary adjustments can be made in a final accounting once all disputes are concluded.
