REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1                     In this matter a notice of appeal has been filed. Notwithstanding the fact that the grounds of appeal cover nine paragraphs, none of them identifies a coherent ground of appeal.  Rather than require an amended notice of appeal at this stage, I propose to require the filing of submissions in order that I may ascertain what the issue if any, is on the appeal. 

  1. On or before 17 June 2005 the appellants file and serve full written submissions in support of the appeal including but not limited to submissions as whether one Judge or three Judges should hear the appeal.
  2. Subject to order 3 the matter stand over to Friday, 24 June 2005 at 2.15pm for directions.
  3. If order 1 is not complied with, the Court will hear the appellants at 2.15pm on 24 June 2005 as to why the Court should not dismiss the appeal under s 25 (2B) (bb) (i) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth) for failure to comply with the a direction of the Court.
  4. The female appellant be in court on 24 June 2005.

2                     I make those orders and I reserve the costs of today.

3                     The orders that I have made today are directed to both appellants.
