tribunal: PERRAM J (DEPUTY PRESIDENT) DATE: 4 JUNE 2014 PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR DETERMINATION 1 All I will do this morning is say that I decline to make the orders sought by either party. I do so because, in relation to the State's proposed orders, in light of the Tribunal's finding of fact that agreement had been reached with regard to payment for retrospective use, it lacks jurisdiction, as it earlier pointed out, to determine the terms. If the State wishes to reopen the hearing to set aside that factual finding, it will need to take that course. 2 I decline to make CAL's orders enforcing the disputed agreement because they involve the exercise of judicial power which the Tribunal lacks. If the parties wish to commence a proceeding in the Federal Court seeking declaratory relief or specific performance of the now disputed agreement, they can take that course and I will arrange for that matter to be docketed to me. I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Perram (Deputy President).
