Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal|2013-08-15|Before: Mr J, Garde J

For the reasons I have given, I will order under s 109(2) that the respondent pay the complainant's costs of the proceeding to the extent specified in the order. I am satisfied that it is fair to make such an order having regard to the considerations set out in s 109(3)(a) to (e) inclusive. As a result, the respondent will pay the complainant's costs of the proceeding from 9 May 2012 until 1 October 2012 (both inclusive) and the costs thrown away by the late service of the respondent's witness statement and exhibits on 7 November 2012 including one and one-half days legal costs of the hearing.
