The interim application was filed late and urgently to delay the scheduled appeal and to advance private interests of the Trust; the urgency and distraction caused prejudice to opposing parties; therefore there was no principled reason to displace the usual rule that costs follow the event. Environs was ordered to pay costs to Crest Energy and Northland Regional Council on a 2B basis with a 25% uplift and reasonable disbursements, to be fixed by the Registrar; certification for second counsel was declined; the substantive proceeding was dismissed.
