3.         At [20], after “make orders” insert “as to costs”.

3.         At [87] on p 28, the first line after the quotation, delete “London and North Western Railway Co [1893] 1 Ch 16 at 78”and insert “London and North Western Railway Co v Evans  [1893] 1 Ch 16 at 28”.

4.         At [161], line 6, delete “grant”.

5.         At [246], item 14, delete “, and were described by its Vice-Chancellor as being,”.  Delete quotation marks around “in a state of disarray” so that item 14 now reads:

                        “In 1986 UWA’s intellectual property policies and practices were in a state of   disarray.”
