- Supreme Court
The Supreme Court held the Court of Appeal did not breach natural justice and was entitled to make a modest costs award of $750 because the respondent was put to additional unnecessary work preparing for the interlocutory appeal that was filed and withdrawn; the Court of Appeal's critical remarks did not materially affect the reasoning for awarding costs and the quantum was appropriate.
