REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 On 15 September 2004 I made orders in respect of the priority of claims against the funds in Court in the proceeds of sale of the 12 metre aluminium ship, identification number 2523Q.
2 In making those orders, the fact that Esanda Finance Corporation Ltd and Philip Denmeade had each paid $1,000 to the Marshal for his costs in respect of the arrest and sale of the vessel, was by inadvertence overlooked. The sum of $10,000 which Stingray Boats had paid to the Marshal on account of the Marshal’s costs was taken into account in respect of the second order that I made on 15 September 2004.
3 Pursuant to the slip rule, it is proper that the first order that I made on 15 September 2004 be altered so as to recognise the payments made by Esanda and Philip Denmeade to the Marshal on account of the Marshal’s costs.
4 All parties have today indicated their agreement with that altered order. I therefore, in substitution for the first order made on 15 September 2004, order:
The Federal Court Marshal be paid the sum of $643.64 for costs of the arrest and sale from the proceeds of sale of the vessel being 12 metre aluminium ship, identification number 2523Q, and Esanda Finance Corporation Ltd and Philip Denmeade each be paid out of the said proceeds $1,000 as reimbursement of their contribution to the Marshal’s costs of the arrest and sale of the ship.
