DTZ NEW ZEALAND LIMITED V  HENRY AND ORS HC CHCH CIV 2006-409-2478 17 August 2007

[1]      Following the reserved decision which I issued in this matter 21 May 2007 I sought  submissions  by  counsel  on  the  matter  of  costs.     I  have  received  a memorandum from counsel for the defendants, Mr Paulsen.  In his memorandum he advises that the plaintiff’s solicitor has stated that he accepts that costs should be on a 2B basis.  I have examined the costs set out in Mr Paulsen’s memorandum which are calculated on a 2B basis and they all seem to be in order as do the disbursements. I therefore order that the plaintiff is to pay costs of $8,640 together with $690 for

disbursements.
