- Supreme Court
The applicants were ordered to pay costs because the Attorney‑General and a respondent were put to the expense of answering unsuccessful leave and stay applications; the Court applied its standard practice of awarding successful respondents $2,500 and refused to depart from that practice, resulting in $2,500 awarded to the Attorney‑General for each of the three matters (total $7,500) and $2,500 to Ms Von Keisenberg.
