35B. Meaning of costs reasonably incurred

In considering whether costs have been reasonably incurred, the Board must
take into account-

   (a)  whether the seniority and number of counsel engaged were appropriate
        for the proceeding; and

   (b)  in the case of an adjournment, whether counsel took action to mitigate
        any loss to them arising from the adjournment, such as undertaking
        other work or being available for other work during the period of the
        adjournment; and

   (c)  any other matter specified by the Attorney-General by order published
        in the Government Gazette.
