Scott v Commissioner of Police

The appeal in *Scott v Commissioner of Police* concerned a dispute between the appellant, Scott, and the Commissioner of Police. The case was heard in the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the District Court had erred in making an order for costs against the appellant.

The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in part, setting aside the District Court's order for costs. However, the appeal was otherwise dismissed. The court ordered that the respondent, the Commissioner of Police, pay 25 percent of the appellant's costs of the appeal.
