In the court judgment delivered by Associate Judge Paulsen on August 17, 2023, in the New Zealand High Court, Stephen Andrew James McCullah, the plaintiff, had brought a defamation claim against Danny James de Hek (first defendant) and DANNY : DE HEK LIMITED (second defendant). McCullah, an entrepreneurial CEO in the finance and investment sector residing in the United States, alleged that de Hek, who was involved in dropshipping electronics and providing web-hosting services, had posted defamatory YouTube videos about him.

The plaintiff sought damages, injunctive relief, and exemplary damages against the defendants. There were seven causes of action for defamation in the statement of claim, with varying amounts of compensatory damages and injunctive relief. (3.8 Million) The defendants filed defenses including truth, honest opinion, qualified privilege, and responsible public interest communication. The first defendant also applied for security for costs.

However, shortly before the security for costs hearing, the plaintiff discontinued the proceeding against both defendants. The first defendant sought indemnity costs, arguing that the plaintiff had no intention of proceeding to trial and that the proceeding was brought for an ulterior motive. The plaintiff contended that no costs should be awarded, but if they were, they should be scale costs.

Associate Judge Paulsen reviewed relevant rules and legislation, including sections of the Defamation Act 1992, and determined that the plaintiff had indeed brought the proceeding with an ulterior motive and never intended to take it to trial. Therefore, the first defendant was entitled to indemnity costs.

Considering the actual costs claimed and the scale costs applicable, the judge concluded that an award of $27,500 in indemnity costs was reasonable under the circumstances.

In summary, the court judgment delivered by Associate Judge Paulsen on August 17, 2023, awarded the first defendant indemnity costs of $27,500 due to the plaintiff’s ulterior motive in bringing the defamation proceeding and his lack of intention to take it to trial.
