Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union v Grocon Constructors (Victoria) Pty Ltd

The High Court of Australia considered an application by the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) seeking to correct an earlier order regarding costs. The original order, made on 13 February 2015, had refused the CFMEU's application for special leave to appeal with costs awarded against the Union. The CFMEU subsequently sought to have this order amended to provide for no order as to costs.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the order for costs made on 13 February 2015 should be corrected. The CFMEU indicated its willingness for the matter to be resolved without an oral hearing.

The Court, in its joint reasons, determined that the summons seeking the correction of the costs order should be dismissed. The Court's reasoning, though not detailed in the provided text, led to the conclusion that the original order for costs was to stand.

Consequently, the High Court directed the Registrar to draw up, sign, and seal an order dismissing the CFMEU's summons.
