- High Court
Applying High Court Rules r14.15 and the court's general discretion, the court allowed a costs award for both Chens but reduced Mr Chen Junior's costs by 50% rather than disallowing them; the court ordered full payment of translation disbursements for both Chens, rejected any rule limiting recovery to two thirds, and declined to stay costs orders because no stay application was made.
