ROE v AUCKLAND DISTRICT HEALTH BOARD [2021] NZHC 2162 [18 August 2021]

[1]    I refer to my judgment of 15 July 2021. I held that the respondent, the Auckland District Health Board (“ADHB”) was entitled to its reasonable costs and disbursements and directed the filing of memoranda.

[2]The ADHB has filed a memorandum seeking costs on a 2B basis in the sum of

$5,616.50.

[3]    Ms Roe has not filed a memorandum. Rather, she has filed an email saying that she will not be filing any memorandum on costs but rather will seek to progress the matter in the Court of Appeal.

[4]    I have considered the costs claimed by the ADHB. Insofar as I can glean from the file, the costs claim is accurate and properly reflects work undertaken, calculated on a 2B basis.

[5]    Accordingly, I award costs in favour of the ADHB and against Ms Roe, in the sum of $5,616.50.
