I refer to your online Official Information request of 17 November 2022
regarding outstanding legal costs owed by Rotorua District Council by
incoming councillors.

 

On 20 October 2022, following his withdrawal of his application for
judicial review against Rotorua District Council’s decision to pursue the
Rotorua District Council (Representation Arrangements) Bill, the High
Court ordered Robert Lee, now an elected member of Council, to pay Council
$39,696.00 in costs. 

 

The Court’s order was sealed on 7 November 2022, and on 15 November 2022,
Council, via its lawyers, provided Mr Lee with a copy of the order.  A
copy of this order is attached.

 

RLC and Mr Lee are in discussion regarding the payment of these costs

 

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. The Ombudsman’s Office can be contacted by calling 0800 802
602, emailing [1][email address], online at
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz, or by post to The Ombudsman, PO Box 10152,
Wellington 6143.
