If the examiner’s paperwork is not right, and is the only issue, maybe it’s fair to require some responsibility.
But an examiner can’t know everything about every candidate tested. There may be something missing that the examiner could not verify ( e.g. claimed flying experience) or something that the candidate has not revealed ( e.g. prosecution, medical issue requiring further investigation).
Yet CASA seem to be saying that if they reject the test for ANY reason the examiner must pay if they spend any time on the case.
CASA also get things wrong, though they never admit it.
