Ambrose J, Jersey CJ, Davies JA
Original judgment source is linked above.
DAVIES JA: This matter was heard by a Court consisting of the Chief Justice, Mr Justice Ambrose and me.
2. Set aside the judgment below, substitute a judgment for the appellant for $231,685.09 with costs and order that the respondent pay the appellant's costs of the appeal.
I publish the joint reasons for judgment of the Chief Justice and me and the separate reasons of Mr Justice Ambrose dissenting in part.
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Good morning, your Honour. Is it necessary for me to raise questions of any variation in his Honour Judge Wylie's order or is that something I can do at a later time? In terms of offers to settle which impact on any costs order.
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I have prepared a schedule of the offers that were made.
DAVIES JA: Well, obviously I can't make any variation in the order. I think the best thing to do might be if - does that involve me vacating that order I made as to costs?
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: No, I don't think it does, your Honour. that's something I can take up with my friends here.
DAVIES JA: Well, maybe it does because the order is that the plaintiff have the costs below.
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: I think that is sufficient your Honour because the - this Court's judgment is lower than the plaintiff's offer to settle so that is - that's more than sufficient, thank you.
