- High Court
The Court held the Solicitor‑General was entitled to costs on a category 2B basis for the 348 proceedings; the Court accepted Crown Law could claim under the schedule and that the employed‑lawyer rule applied, but exercised discretion to reduce specific items (reducing CMC and bundle allowances) and declined to accept the applicant's public interest and actual‑cost arguments; final costs ordered were $5,735.50 payable by the applicant to the Solicitor‑General.
