- High Court
AMP was entitled to costs on a 2B basis; disbursements are recoverable only if incurred after the New Zealand proceeding commenced (application to reseal filed 25 June 2018), therefore the Bangladesh invoice dated 6 May 2018 for US$4,500 was disallowed, the invoice dated 30 September 2018 for US$1,200 was allowed, the Alliance Laws disbursement of US$3,000 was allowed because the affidavit was received and materially considered, the Step 30 claim for affidavit preparation was disallowed as double counting with agent disbursements, and second counsel was allowed given the complexity.
