Only expenses directly caused by the trial's transfer to Wellington were recoverable under the leave granted; most claimed items were not causally linked or would have arisen irrespective of the transfer, but specific travel ($1,692.36) and meal ($1,350) costs were directly caused and awarded, totalling $3,042.36 to Mrs Lyttle, with the remainder of the earlier $75,000 order applied to the Legal Services Agency after deducting $7,300 previously paid.
