NCAT Dismissed Low [2023] NSWCATAP 20 2023-02-01
An applicant sought costs for an appeal. The tribunal dismissed the application for costs because it found no special circumstances warranting a departure from the usual rule that each party pay their own costs. This meant each party would bear their own costs for the appeal and miscellaneous application.
COSTS– costs of appeal – appellant’s position not advanced as a result of successful appeal – s 60 of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 – no special circumstances – application for costs of the appeal dismissed.
