The stay of costs was declined; Pirirakau entitled to costs on a 2B basis ($17,412.50) and the Council entitled to costs on a 2B basis ($14,576.75). Rule 14.7(e) did not apply because D155's interest was commercial and it did not act reasonably in the specific sense required; the purported settlement offer was too vague to qualify under r 14.10 and r 14.7(f); and the Council's conduct did not amount to egregious conduct justifying reduction under r 14.7(g).
