CHESTERFIELDS PRESCHOOLS LTD (IN LIQUIDATION) v SISSON [2017] NZHC 553
- Citation
- [2017] NZHC 553
- Court
- High Court
Because the defendant pursued an entirely meritless defence, took unnecessary steps, ignored court directions and thereby contributed to unnecessary cost and delay, the court applied r14.6(3)(b)(ii) and awarded category 2B costs with a 50% uplift plus disbursements to the successful parties; the specific claimed quantums were found reasonable and awarded.
