JUSTICE DAVID LEVINE
FRIDAY 19 MAY 2000
JOHN MARSDEN (Plaintiff)
v
AMALGAMATED TELEVISION SERVICES PTY LIMITED ACN 000 145 246 (Defendant) DIRECTIONS (Police Service of New South Wales - T6273) 1 HIS HONOUR: I grant leave to the Commissioner of Police to file in court a Notice of Motion pursuant to the application for leave made at 2 o'clock today. 2 Leave is granted to file in court an affidavit sworn yesterday by Deputy Commissioner Kenneth Edward Moroney. 3 I stand the hearing of the motion over to 9.30am on Monday morning to enable everyone to consider their position in relation to it. 4 In view of what I feel free to remark upon as the apparent lateness in the making of the application in respect to subpoenas, notice of the service of which was given after 2 o'clock on 17 May to the officer referred to in paragraph 4 of Mr Moroney's affidavit, that lateness is unfortunate, and by using that word I am not, as I cannot at this stage, or it might never arise that I will have to, attribute fault. The effect of the delay, however, was to disrupt, as far as I am concerned, and possibly as far as the plaintiff is concerned, and it may well be as far as the defendant is concerned, the structure of whatever remained of the defence case. 5 The Commissioner is directed to prepare for handing up on Monday morning at 9.30 and to provide to each side a document that would reflect, in the event of certain orders being made, a practical way of them being put into effect. ***********
