- High Court
The High Court found no error of law in the Environment Court's costs decision: s319(2)(b) did not apply because the specific type and degree of adverse effects were not expressly recognised by the District Plan; the Environment Court properly applied Bielby factors and relevant principles and was entitled to award indemnity costs reduced to a reasonable quantum of $72,500; appeal and cross-appeal dismissed.
