Brott v The Queen

In the High Court of Australia, Isaac Alexander Brott was the appellant in a matter concerning consequential orders following a previous judgment. The respondent consented to the orders sought by the appellant.

The primary legal issue before the Court was the appropriate mechanism for remitting the appellant's appeal against his conviction for uttering to the Court of Criminal Appeal of Victoria. This remittal was to allow that Court to hear and determine the appeal in accordance with the High Court's prior judgment, and to address any matters arising under section 14C of the *Appeal Costs Act 1964* (Vic.) concerning the costs of that appeal.

The Court, by consent of the parties, ordered that the matter be remitted to the Court of Criminal Appeal of Victoria. This remittal was specifically for the purpose of having the appeal heard and determined in light of the High Court's judgment, and to deal with any costs issues that might arise under the *Appeal Costs Act 1964* (Vic.).
