The Department of Corrections has been ordered to pay white supremacist Philip Arps $3000 in legal fees.
Arps was jailed for 21 months in 2019 for spreading disturbing footage of the Al Noor Mosque massacre.
The 45-year-old was released in January last year on strict conditions which included him not loitering near Christchurch's two mosques or having contact with Muslim people without special approval from his probation officer.
Arps visited a shop beside the Linwood Islamic Centre where nine people were killed in August last year and alarm bells sounded.
