    High Court

    The non-party discovery application was dismissed as premature and not likely to yield material relevant to whether Standards Committees had sufficient information or acted in good faith; exercising the court's discretion in costs and recognising the position of non-parties and a lawyer acting for himself, the court ordered a global contribution of $5,000 to the non-party Dunstan as a reasonable contribution to costs.
