- High Court
The appellant was entitled to costs because the Environment Court made material legal errors in applying the test under s 125 RMA; the appeal succeeded on that primary legal ground; the case involved application of settled law to particular facts and was not a public interest/test case warranting departure from the ordinary rule that costs follow the event; accordingly costs were awarded to the appellant on a schedule 2B basis, with specified disbursements.
