The parties were unable to agree on the quantum of fixed costs awarded to the respondent on a partial indemnity scale following a previous decision.
The respondent claimed $25,580 based on a draft bill of costs totalling $32,822.
The applicant argued the claimed hours were excessive and suggested $8,000.
The court fixed costs payable by the applicant to the respondent at $17,500 for fees and $580 for disbursements, plus applicable GST.
