Ripani v Century Legend Pty Ltd

1. The time limited by Order 2 of the Orders made on 18 March 2022 be extended until 4pm on Monday, 28 March 2022. Note: Entry of orders is dealt with in Rule 39.32 of the Federal Court Rules 2011.

ANASTASSIOU J: 1 On 24 March 2022, Charlotte Emilie Sinclair, a solicitor for the Respondent in this proceeding, filed an affidavit. By reason of that affidavit, I became aware that the Respondent had filed a Notice of Appeal in relation to my judgment in Ripani v Century Legend Pty Ltd [2022] FCA 242 (the Judgment) and the orders I made on 18 March 2022 (the Orders). 2 The affidavit also foreshadowed an interlocutory application by which the Respondent would seek a stay in relation to the Orders pending the hearing and determination of the Respondent's appeal to the Full Court of this Court (the stay application). The following day, 25 March 2022, the Respondent's stay application was formally accepted for filing. 3 In view of the lateness of the application, and the pressures of the Court's business, it was not practical for the stay application or any part of it to be determined today. 4 In those circumstances, and only by reason of the impracticality I have described of that application being heard, I shall extend the time limited by Order 2 of the Orders until 4pm on Monday, 28 March 2022. I certify that the preceding four (4) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment of the Honourable Justice Anastassiou.
