RESPONDENT

JUDGE: HELY J

DATE: 10 AUGUST 2000

PLACE: SYDNEY

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 This is an application for leave to appeal from a decision of Katz J given on 26 July 2000. By that decision his Honour varied certain of the orders which he made in consequence of his principal decision on 8 June 2000. The principal decision is the subject of a pending appeal. It seems to me that the Full Court should be seized of the whole of the matter and for that reason I propose to grant leave to appeal from the decision of Katz J given on 26 July 2000. 2 The cost of this application will be costs in the appeal. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Hely.
