From: Sean Marshall
Dear Wellington Regional Council,
Can you please provide a breakdown of all costs incurred by the Council in association with the Council's failed application for an enforcement order in relation to the 281C Katherine Mansfield Drive subdivision.
My request includes (but is not limited to) information on:
- in-house costs attributable to this matter (such as costs of investigation);
- any costs attributable to any other enforcement action taken before applying for an enforcement order (for example, letters of warning or letters of demand);
- legal costs incurred for lawyers engaged by the Council;
- costs for any experts or consultants engaged by the Council;
- any costs or disbursements payable by the Council to the other parties to the proceeding or to the court;
- any costs incurred after the Court's decision was issued (for example, resulting from advising the Council on the outcome and consequence of the decision);
- any other costs incurred by the Council not noted above but reasonably attributable to this matter.
My inquiry includes liability for costs accrued but not yet paid.
Can you please also provide a copy of any consideration (reports, resolutions, etc) which the council has given to the financial impact of this proceeding on the Council and how the council intends to finance its liability in relation to the proceeding.
Yours faithfully,
Sean Marshall
