- High Court
The Court awarded costs: HWD must pay Body Corporate $26,377.75 for the application to set aside the first statutory demand (reflecting a 50% allocation of overlapping invoices); Body Corporate must pay HWD $13,079.81 for the protest to jurisdiction (to be set off against the first award); HWD must pay Body Corporate $21,520.70 for the application to set aside the second statutory demand; the Body Corporate's refusal to adjourn the second matter pending appeal was not unreasonable and the costs claimed were reasonable.
