[2014] NZSC 4
Court

Supreme Court

Leave to appeal was dismissed because the interim possession order was rendered academic by the sale of the property and the proposed appeal raised no point of principle nor an appearance of substantial miscarriage of justice.

Court

High Court

The plaintiff discontinued a procedurally defective and inadequately researched interlocutory proceeding that put the defendants to expense; under r 14.2 of the High Court Rules the usual rule that costs follow the event applies, and neither impecuniosity nor an unproven claim of seeking legal aid justified withholding costs; defendants awarded costs on a 2B basis fixed at $4,512 plus reasonable disbursements.
