Adamopoulos & Anor v Olympic Airways S.A.

The parties before the High Court of Australia were Constantinos Adamopoulos (the applicant) and Olympic Airways S.A. and Qantas (the respondents). The dispute concerned an application for special leave to appeal.

The legal issue before the Court was whether to grant the applicant's request to discontinue the application for special leave to appeal and, if so, what order should be made regarding the costs of the application.

The Court was informed by counsel for the respondents that the applicants wished to discontinue their application and that the respondents consented to this course of action, provided that each party bear their own costs. The applicant confirmed his agreement to this arrangement. Brennan J noted the discontinuance and ordered that each party bear their own costs of the application.
