2.                  At paragraph 69 the heading, which reads “Bendigo Banks’ application to have the proceeding transferred to the Supreme Court of Victoria”, should read “Bendigo Bank’s application to have the proceeding transferred to the Supreme Court of Victoria”.

 

3.                  At paragraph 81 the heading, which reads “Bendigo Banks’ application to stay the proceeding pending further discovery by the applicants”, should read “Bendigo Bank’s application to stay the proceeding pending further discovery by the applicants”.
