- High Court
The High Court allowed the appeal, set aside the Environment Court's $110,000 costs award, held the presumption against awarding costs to statutory decision‑makers applied given the public‑interest role and legislative ambiguity, determined EPA's conduct did not justify a costs order, and ordered that costs in the Environment Court, costs of the stay application, and costs in this Court lie where they fall.
