EVATT J: The two matters listed before the court today are appeals which were heard before the same full court consisting of Mr Justice J.B. Sweeney, Mr Justice Northrop and myself.
It 1S with profound sorrow that I advise that Mr Justice Sweeney died in Perth on Thursday last, 7 May 1981. His Honour was appointed a deputy president of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission in 1973 and later that year a judge of the Australian Industrial Court, In February 1977, when the Federal Court of Australia was created, he was appointed a judge of that court.
H1s Honour, without doubt, had experience and knowledge of industrial law, both federal and state, without parallel in this country. He was always willing to pass on that experience and knowledge which was gaincd over a per1od in excess of 50 years, both to his brother judges and to the profession generally. AS 1t 16 antended that there be a special memorial sitting of the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney on Thursday next,
14 May 1981 at 10 a.m., to pay respect to his Honour, it 1S not appropriate for me to say more at this stage other than that I personally have lost a very close friend and mentor of some 35 years.
This appeal was heard by a full court consisting of Mr Justice J.B. Sweeney, Mr. Justice Northrop and myself. On 18 March 1981 the full court reserved its decision. The members of the full court were in complete agreement on the orders to be made and had prepared joint reasons for the judgment. It was proposed the judgment be delivered this morning, Monday, 11 May.
