JUDGMENT OF GENDALL J (As to costs)
[1] On 16 February 2017 the applicant in this proceeding, Therese Anne Sisson
(Ms Sisson) filed a discontinuance of this proceeding.
[2] Also on 16 February 2017, in a judgment I issued in this proceeding I granted leave to Ms Sisson to discontinue this proceeding and made certain directions regarding the filing of memoranda on the issue of costs.
[3] Ms Sisson and counsel for IAG New Zealand Limited, the respondent in this matter, have now filed a joint memorandum as to costs dated 23 February 2017.
[4] Having considered that memorandum it is now confirmed that this proceeding is discontinued.
[5] As to costs on the proceeding, Ms Sisson and IAG New Zealand Limited, have agreed that a costs order on a 2B basis is appropriate in this matter and can now
be made by consent.
SISSON v IAG NZ LIMITED [2017] NZHC 270 [27 February 2017]
[6] That said, by consent an order is made that Ms Sisson is to pay IAG New Zealand Limited costs on this proceeding on a category 2B basis totalling
$39,025 together with disbursements, being a filing fee on the statement of defence of $110.
[7] Finally, for completeness I note a minor typographical error in my oral judgment given in this matter on 16 February 2017 at line 3 in para [1]. The date in that line reads 16 August 2016 when it should have read 16 February 2017. I apologise for this minor error.
