Costs awarded to the respondent were justified but limited to the final in‑court hearing (items from 11 April 2008); the public interest argument failed because the applicant was motivated by personal selection prospects; the court allowed $7,880 for costs and disbursements as claimed but adjusted to reflect senior counsel only, with the Registrar to fix any revised disbursement calculation if necessary.
