Judgment
1THE COURT: We gave judgment in this appeal late last year [2011] NSWCA 412.
2The respondents have filed a notice of motion on 23 December 2011 seeking a further order that they be granted a certificate under the Suitors Fund Act 1951.
3The Court gave directions that the motion be considered on the papers and sought submissions from the parties.
4These submissions showed that there was no opposition to the order being made.
5The order sought is one that ordinarily would be made.
6As was pointed out by Basten JA (with whom Handley JA and McDougall J agreed) in Trust Company of Australia Ltd v Skiwing Pty Ltd [2006] NSWSCA 387; 68 NSWLR 366 at 385 [74] for the purposes of the Suitors Fund Act, the Administrative Decisions Tribunal is classed as a court.
7Accordingly the Court orders that the respondents be granted a certificate under the Suitors Fund Act 1951 in respect of the costs of the appeal including the costs of the motion of 23 December 2011.
