REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 In this matter I have been asked to make orders in accordance with the short minutes of order submitted by the applicants in relation to an account of profits, together with interest and the amount of cost in the lump sum assessed at $40,000. I note that the respondent has not appeared and I am satisfied that she has been given appropriate notice of this hearing and the orders sought. I am satisfied on the material before me that the orders ought to be made. I make the order in relation to the account for profits of $101,310.63, including interest. In relation to costs, I am not satisfied that an indemnity basis is appropriate but I award costs in the sum of $35,000, such costs to be paid forthwith.
2 Accordingly, the orders of the Court are as set out in the short minutes of order except the amount of costs not be on an indemnity basis and that the amount be $35,000.
3 The application is granted in accordance with the orders which I have made.
