- High Court
s 45 immunity applied to the costs for which legal aid was granted; the District Court correctly found exceptional circumstances based on the appellant's persistent post-commencement conduct and social media activity that caused the respondent to incur additional costs, but the District Court gave no adequate explanation for an uplift above scale and that uplift was not justified, so the order was quashed and substituted with costs on a 2B basis plus disbursements.
