Egis Consulting Australia Pty Ltd v First Dynasty Mines Ltd (A company incorporated in Canada)

In Egis Consulting Australia Pty Ltd v First Dynasty Mines Ltd, the defendant sought to set aside an ex parte order permitting the plaintiffs to serve the defendant outside the jurisdiction. The defendant argued that the contract in question was made in Canada and governed by Canadian law, and that Western Australia was an inappropriate forum. The court found that the contract was made in Western Australia and governed by Western Australian law, and that Western Australia was not an inappropriate forum. The application was dismissed. The court considered the principles of contract formation, the choice of law clause, and the appropriateness of the forum, ultimately finding in favour of the plaintiffs.
