Both claimed amounts were disproportionate to the work done. The 15 April memorandum was trivial and did not justify any award; the 11 May document functioned as submissions but was brief and warranted only the memorandum rate ($956) rather than the claimed $3,585. Accordingly, award reduced to reflect likely actual costs incurred and Court discretion under the High Court Rules.
