EX TEMPORE REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
THE COURT:
In this appeal the arguments put by the appellant before this Full Court repeated those advanced and determined by the trial judge.
We agree with the judgment and the reasons of the trial judge as to the effect of clause 9.5 of the certified agreement.
We make the following observation about one aspect of the judgment. We do not need to decide in this appeal whether his Honour was correct in the view he took as to the effect of the word “suitable” dealt with at page 14 of his decision because a determination of that matter is not necessary, in our view, to the proper construction of the agreement.
The order of the court is that the appeal is dismissed.
