| Parties | Skeggs v Radius Security Ltd |
| Summary | COSTS - Successful personal grievance - One day investigation meeting - Applicant sought contribution of $8,200 to total costs of $13,646, plus disbursements - Submitted Authority's modest approach to costs should be departed from as he could not have represented himself and no settlement offer made before investigation meeting - Respondent submitted modest costs appropriate - Claimed applicant capable of presenting own brief to Authority, and other issues raised by respondent had little if any effect on meeting length - Applicant not criticised for engaging professional representation - Applicant not given information regarding intended employment agreement - Not right for respondent to now criticise him for engaging representation due substantially in part to its failures - Daily tariff supplemented to recognise this aspect of case |
| Result | Costs in favour of applicant ($5,000) ; Disbursements ($280) |
