ORDER eight defendants/appellants

MR D A CASTLEY (of Phillips Fox)

THE PRESIDENT: The material before me demonstrates that the	10
requirements allowing the applicant solicitors to withdraw as
solicitors on the record under UCPR r 990 have been complied
with. Notice was given to the first and second appellants on
the 29th of October. It is true that the first and second
appellants were only served with this application on the 26th	20
of November, so that two clear days' notice of this application has not been given, however this is an appropriate case in which I should abridge the time as necessary to allow this application to be made.
30
The orders are; abridge the time as necessary to bring this
application, leave is given to the applicant to withdraw as
solicitor on the record for the first and second appellants in
this appeal. The first and second appellants are to pay the
applicant's costs of and incidental to the application to be	40
assessed.
