MS D. RASHEVA:   May it please the Court, I appear on behalf of the applicants in these matters.  (instructed by Sulaika Dhanapala) 

MR S.P. DONAGHUE:   If the Court pleases, I appear for the first respondent.  (instructed by Clayton Utz).

MS RASHEVA:   Your Honour, we have consent minutes seeking to withdraw my client’s application and a consent as to costs.  If I could seek to hand those up.

HIS HONOUR:   Yes.  I think the Tribunal submits to the jurisdiction of the Court save as to costs.  You have seen these orders, have you not, Dr Donaghue?

MR DONAGHUE:   I have, yes.

HIS HONOUR:   In each of the matters there will be orders by consent that the applicants’ application for an order for writs of mandamus, prohibition or certiorari made by affidavit sworn on 10 March 2004 may be withdrawn.  The applicants will in each case pay the agreed costs of the respondents fixed in the sum of $500.  It is perhaps unnecessary in those circumstances therefore to certify for the attendance of counsel.  There will be orders in those terms.

AT 9.35 AM THE MATTERS WERE CONCLUDED
