This judgment was delivered by me on 16 October 2019 at 3.00 pm Pursuant to Rule 11.5 High Court Rules
Registrar/Deputy Registrar
Barfoot & Ors v O'Meara & Ors [2019] NZHC 2642 [16 October 2019]
[1] On 5 September 2019, I delivered a judgment in this proceeding, finding the respondents, Mr Thompson and Mr O'Meara, to be in contempt of Court for deliberately failing to comply with an Order made by Edwards J on 29 May 2019.1
[2] In giving judgment I made an order for costs against the first and second respondents and invited the applicants to file a memorandum quantifying the costs sought. In accordance with the directions as to costs made in my judgment, the applicants have filed their costs memorandum; they seek costs on a Category 2B basis.
[3] Accordingly, I direct that the first and second respondents pay the applicants' costs and disbursements sought, in the sum of $8,038.13.
