- High Court
The court exercised its discretion to award costs to Housing New Zealand Corporation on a category 2B basis of $10,704 because the applicant's challenge was without realistic prospect of success, imposed additional legal costs on the principal creditor, and neither his lay status nor impecuniosity justified withholding costs; the application was treated as an originating application for costs purposes.
