| Summary |
COSTS - Successful personal grievance - Less than one day investigation meeting - Applicant sought contribution of $5,000 to actual costs of $7,200 - Respondent sought contribution of $2,000 to actual costs of $17,000 - Respondent relied on Calderbank offer - Offer sent on Friday before Monday of investigation meeting - If offer had been made earlier it would have had more weight, but it was not made in circumstances where its acceptance could reasonably be considered likely - Calderbank offer did not assist - Very much a matter that should have been settled early and for a relatively modest sum - Contribution by respondent ordered with regard to nature of case, mixed success achieved by parties and length of investigation meeting |
