- Court
- High Court
The plaintiff was entitled to costs on the interlocutory application; legal aid status does not preclude an award and does not by itself justify reduction; concerns about double payment are addressed by repayment arrangements to the Legal Services Commissioner; no overall reduction for partial success or alleged unnecessary conduct was warranted; costs were fixed on a 2B scale at $9,918.50 with reasonable disbursements to be fixed by the registrar and capped at amounts actually charged to the Legal Services Commissioner.
