District Court of NSW

Original judgment source is linked above.
For the reasons which I have just given, the orders which I make on this motion are: I refuse to set aside the judgment and I order a stay on the judgment entered on 6 August 2008 in case number 2984 of 2008 pending determination of the proceedings. I do not regard it as necessary to make any order in respect of number 2. Mr Ho and Ms Painter, that leaves expedition and costs. If I'm inclined to order expedition I think both of you have indicated you're--
HIS HONOUR: I direct that these proceedings be expedited. Costs of the motion. Costs should follow the event? HO: Yes.
HIS HONOUR: Just the motion. Yes, I see what you mean.
PAINTER: Your Honour, I do make an application for my client's costs in these proceedings. The primary relief that was sought was to set aside the judgment. Your Honour's refused that. Secondary relief arose during the course of argument as an indulgence, if I might put it that way and in those circumstances in my submission the proper order is that my client's costs of the motion be paid by the plaintiffs.
HIS HONOUR: I can see force in that but I think the relief I will provide your client is not to order costs against your client and I am going to order that each party bear their own costs of the motion.
