Crouch v The Commissioner of Railways (Queensland)

The High Court of Australia considered a matter between Crouch and The Commissioner of Railways (Queensland). The specific nature of the dispute between the parties is not detailed in the provided transcript, which records a brief procedural hearing.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders to be made in relation to proceedings that had been heard in Perth. This involved deciding on the remission of the matter, the costs associated with various summonses, and the certification for counsel.

The court ordered that the matter be remitted to the District Court of Western Australia. The costs of the plaintiff's summons were to be costs in the cause, meaning they would be determined at the final resolution of the substantive proceedings. The defendant's summons was dismissed without any order as to costs. The court indicated that its reasons for these orders would be published.
