The applicant sought to recover costs from the respondents after winning an appeal. The tribunal ordered the respondents to pay the Owners Corporation and Joels' costs related to the substantive application, but dismissed the rest of the costs applications. The tribunal found that special circumstances did not warrant cost orders for the appeal.
COSTS – Appeal – Whether rule 38 or s 60 applies in Tribunal and appeal proceedings – special circumstances – exercise of discretion
