Mr S.R. Morris, Q.C. with
Mr C.W. Porter

Deacons
For the Respondent Mr J. Delany Garland, Hawthorn Brahe

BROOKING, J.A.: 

  1. This is an appeal, limited by statute to questions of law, from a decision of Balmford, J.

  1. Having had the opportunity of considering the matter overnight, we are confirmed in our view that there is no reason to doubt the correctness of her Honour's careful reasons for decision.

  1. This would be enough to dispose of the appeal were it not for the fact that the authenticated order erroneously records only the order for costs, not the order dismissing the claim.  It is common ground that we should correct this.  Accordingly, our order will be in accordance with these minutes: 

1.Appeal allowed for purpose only of correcting authenticated order of Balmford, J. made on 15 December 1998 by inserting into operative part:

"1.The claim be dismissed" and by renumbering of paragraph 1 as paragraph 2.

2.        Otherwise appeal dismissed with costs.
