Respondent
JUDGE: MARSHALL J
DATE: 8 APRIL 2008
PLACE: MELBOURNE
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The appellant, Mr Kailai Nathan, appeals from a judgment of Burchardt FM, in which his Honour dismissed Mr Nathan's claims concerning alleged contraventions of ss 52 and 60 of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) ("the Act"); see Nathan v Capital Finance Australia Ltd [2007] FMCA 1503. Mr Nathan's amended statement of claim in the proceeding below traversed many issues, however his Honour struck out all aspects of it other than those concerning ss 52 and 60 of the Act. In his reasons for judgment, Burchardt FM said at [10]: "I did … make it clear that the trial would be restricted to the issues involving alleged contraventions of s 52 and s 60 of the Act." The aspects of the amended statement of claim dealing with other issues were the subject of interlocutory decisions of the primary judge in respect of which Mr Nathan did not seek leave to appeal.
