- High Court
The court found the litigation did not engage the public interest exception in r 14.7(e), applied the ordinary rule that the unsuccessful party pays costs, and ordered the plaintiff to pay the defendant costs of $11,929 including disbursements payable immediately; deferral pending appeal was refused because appeals do not stay payment and prompt recovery is required by the rules.
