    Citation
    [2015] NZHC 918
    Court
    High Court

    Proceeding involved novel and conceptually complex issues warranting Category 3 treatment for preparation of written submissions; therefore written submissions are assessed at band C while other steps are assessed at band B; increased costs uplift was not justified for late affidavits or a revised protocol but a 10% uplift was justified for a new substantial argument raised for the first time in reply; disputed disbursements (NZLS library fees and expert report additional work) were reasonable and allowed.
