    DELIU v DISTRICT COURT AT WELLINGTON [2023] NZCA 268

    Citation
    [2023] NZCA 268
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    The High Court's costs judgment, which was expressed to be made in favour of the Court of Appeal and thereby named a senior appellate court as a respondent and beneficiary, was inappropriate and unworkable; the appeal is allowed, the High Court judgment is set aside, and the proceeding is remitted to the High Court.
