   ...[9] The defendant had no choice but to defend the proceedings, and made reasonable and genuine attempts to settle the matter. [10] The defendant is a regulatory board funded solely by its trade licensing activities and has a lower level of resources than other employers.

   ...(and it having been served at its registered office and address for service around one month previously). The plaintiff did not constructively assist in resolving the employment relationship problem in a timely, economic and efficient way. Resources of the defendant and the Authority were wasted as a result of the conduct of the plaintiff. [5] The plaintiff accepts that it did not facilitate the Authority’s investigation, but essentially submits that this was explicable i...

   ...costs for the remedies it successfully obtained against Mr Powell. That must, however, be balanced against Mr Powell’s successful defence of claims for substantial damages, the hearing of which involved considerably more hearing time and legal resources than the early hearings. Finally, I have to take into account the fact that Mr Powell raised a substantial counter-claim for damages and a penalty in which he also was totally unsuccessful.

   ...choice and it is appropriate that a successful party be recompensed for the reasonable cost of such representation. Equally, it is open to a party to engage more experienced or skilful counsel than the case might warrant or to devote additional resources to the matter over and above that reasonably required. Where a party chooses to do that, however, it cannot expect to recover from an unsuccessful opponent the additional cost incurred.

   ...before the Waitangi Tribunal which are simply not able to be passed on at short notice to other counsel. [20] We accept that Mr Pou, who has recently set up a new firm with a colleague, is in a situation analogous with that of Mr Taff’s where the resource of legal expertise in this particular area is sparse. Thus it is in the public interest that his suspension from practice, which we considered inevitable, be kept to the minimum in order that he may properly continue his obligat...

    ...disclosure once these matters have been attended to. LSG should insofar as possible, deal with all of these categories where they are to provide further documents by setting them out in an affidavit, perhaps sworn by Mrs Park, who is the Human Resource Manager, but it does not really matter who.
