F Firm Pty Ltd and Pamplin

The Full Court of the Supreme Court of New South Wales considered an appeal by F Firm Pty Ltd against orders made by Cohen J on 9 March 2010. The dispute concerned an application made by Ms Pamplin on 1 February 2010.

The primary legal issue before the Full Court was whether Cohen J erred in making the orders of 9 March 2010, and consequently, whether Ms Pamplin's application of 1 February 2010 should be re-opened.

The Full Court found that the orders of 9 March 2010 were made in error and therefore set them aside. The Court reasoned that it was appropriate to re-open Ms Pamplin's application of 1 February 2010 and to list it for a future hearing. The Court ordered that the orders made by Cohen J on 9 March 2010 be set aside and that Ms Pamplin's application of 1 February 2010 be re-opened and stood-over for hearing to a date to be fixed.
