Following the quashing of an application for judicial review on the basis that it was an abuse of process, the successful respondents and interveners sought costs.
The court awarded costs to the respondents, noting the awards should reflect the finding of abuse of process.
The court also awarded partial indemnity costs to the individual interveners, who had been added as parties with a direct interest in the proceedings.
Total costs of $30,350 were ordered against the applicant.
