CORRIGENDUM

 

Amendment to the Reasons for Judgment of the Full Court delivered on 18 April 2001.



1.                  The orders of the Court made on 18 April 2001 should now read:


“1.        The appeal be allowed for the limited purpose of correcting pars 1 and 3 of the orders made by French J on 29 August 2000. 

 

2.         Set aside pars 1 and 3 of his Honour’s orders of that date and in lieu thereof order that:

1.       The decision of the Second Respondent made on 17 December 1999 that the First and Second Applicants are eligible for surrender to the United Mexican States in relation to the offences set out in Annexure 1 and 2 of this order is confirmed.


2

3.         The Applicants are to pay the First Respondent’s costs of the application.”

3.         The appeal be otherwise dismissed.

 

4.         The appellants pay the first respondent’s costs of and incidental to the appeal.”

2.                  The first line of par 76 should read “In Re Dingjan; Ex parte Wagner (1995) 183 CLR 323 Gaudron J said at 360-361:”

3.                  Delete par 306 and substitute the following paragraph:

“306.    In the ordinary course it would follow from the reasons set out above that the appeal should be dismissed.  However, it emerged during the course of argument that there were two minor errors in the orders pronounced by French J on 29 August 2000 which needed to be corrected.  His Honour ordered that :

“1.     The decision of the First Respondent made on 17 December 1999 that the First and Second Applicants are eligible for surrender to the United Mexican States in relation to the offences set out in Annexure 1 and 2 of this order is confirmed.

2.      The application for judicial review be dismissed.

3.      The Applicants are to pay the Second Respondent’s costs of the application.

4.      Liberty to the Commonwealth of Australia to apply within fourteen days on the question of costs of its intervention on the Constitutional point.”

The first respondent in the proceeding before his Honour was the United Mexican States.  The second respondent was the magistrate who determined that Mr Cabal and Mr Pasini were eligible for surrender.  It is common ground between the parties that the reference to “the First Respondent” in par 1 of his Honour’s orders should have

3

been to “the Second Respondent” and the reference to “the Second Respondent” in par 3 should have been to “the First Respondent”.  It is necessary to allow the appeal for the limited purpose of correcting these errors.  The appeal should otherwise be dismissed.  The appellants must pay the first respondent’s costs of and incidental to the appeal.”
