REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1                     These reasons for judgment should be read together with the reasons for judgment in CEPU v Harris [2003] FCA 737 which was published immediately before the publication of these reasons.

2                     The rule to show cause in this matter would have been made absolute but for the validation order made in CEPU v Harris.  Consequently it is appropriate to order that the rule to show cause be discharged.


I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Marshall.
