- High Court
The Court approved the receivers' fees up to $135,428 because the receivers provided sufficient evidential material (affidavit and three six‑monthly reports) showing extensive work prompted by about 60 defect claims, adopted lower Consented Rates, and demonstrated effective and economical conduct; requiring the detailed breakdown sought would impose disproportionate additional costs on the beneficiaries and was unnecessary to determine reasonableness.
