RULING ON COSTS
On 15 April 1998, I dismissed a motion filed by Mr Fuller on
1 April in which he sought an order for costs made on 7 August 1997 be stayed
pending determination of an appeal and related proceedings including
proceedings in the High Court of Australia.
The motion came on before me on 6 April.
I heard argument and directed the filing of answering affidavits and
written submissions. I invited
submissions from the parties as to the costs of the motion. Both the Minister and the National
Registration Authority were served with Mr Fuller’s motion and both appeared by
counsel on its return. Having read Mr
Fuller’s short submission and a submission from the National Registration
Authority, I am of the opinion that the costs
should follow the event and that the applicant should pay the first and second
respondents’ costs of the motion.
