INS_ FOR NT
In this matter I delivered judgment on 30 September 1994,
when I ordered that the respondents, within fourteen days, bring
in short minutes of orders, and that the applicant file and
serve, within a further fourteen days, a document setting out any
objections to or variations of the short minutes for which he
contended.
2.
Following the delivery of this judgment, the parties did in
fact file contending versions of what they submitted were
appropriate orders, and also brief written submissions. No party
sought to be heard orally.
The dispute as to the form of the orders is particularly
concerned with the costs of a cross-claim filed and served in the
proceeding, but not pursued at the hearing. In my opinion, the
applicant is entitled to have the result of the cross-claim taken
into account in the formulation of the terms of the costs order
that should be made.
I now make the following orders:
1. The application be dismissed.
2. The cross-claim be dismissed.
3. Any interlocutory orders be discharged.
4. The costs of the respondents of and incidental to the
application (except to the extent that these costs may have
been increased by the bringing of the cross-claim) be paid
by Charles Barry Headlam, such costs to be taxed in default
of agreement and to include any reserved costs.
5. The costs of the cross-respondent to the extent that those
costs are referable to the institution of the cross-claim
be paid by the cross-claimant, such costs to be taxed in
default of agreement.
I certify that this and the preceding two (2) pages
are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of
his Honour Justice Burchett.
