Capital Duplicators Pty Ltd & Anor v Australian Capital Territory

In the High Court of Australia, Capital Duplicators Pty Ltd and Luhaze ACT Pty Ltd were the plaintiffs, and the Australian Capital Territory was the defendant. The dispute concerned questions reserved for the Court's determination.

The primary legal issue before the Court was the determination of question 1 of the questions reserved.

The Court reasoned that as question 1 had been argued as a discrete issue at its direction, the plaintiffs were entitled to their costs associated with that specific question. Accordingly, the Court ordered that the defendant, the Australian Capital Territory, pay the plaintiffs' costs of question 1 of the questions reserved.
