- Court of Appeal
The Court exercised its s 8(1) power to award costs because it was not fair for the first respondent to bear costs incurred when the appellant pursued matters of general application in C's case; given the case's combination of complexity and importance the Court was satisfied under s 13(3) that costs above the prescribed scale were warranted and fixed a contribution of $750 plus reasonable travel expenses.
