Judgment on costs
- On 21 December 2021, two separate judgments were delivered in related personal injury damages proceedings brought by Mr Armin Damirdjian and his daughter Christina: Damirdjian, A v Nominal Defendant & Zaya [2021] NSWDC 703 and Damirdjian, C v Nominal Defendant & Zaya [2021] NSWDC 706. These reasons assume familiarity with the factual circumstances which based those decisions, and concern the costs consequences, where ultimately, each plaintiff was unsuccessful in the proceedings against the Nominal Defendant (the first defendant), but obtained an award of damages in the proceedings against Mr Zaya (the second defendant).
