Quick Take

An Attorney-General's intervention under s 27 of the Court Procedures Act 2004 (ACT) that is reasonable, does not substantially lengthen the hearing, and assists the Court will not give rise to 'special reasons' for a costs order under s 27(4), even where the Attorney-General's arguments are unsuccessful.
