Farro and Goff & Ors

The applicant, Farro, sought to join the fifth and sixth respondents, Goff & Ors, to proceedings. The nature of the underlying dispute and the specific relief sought by Farro against Goff & Ors were not detailed in the provided text. The application was heard by Foster J.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether Goff & Ors should be joined as parties to the existing proceedings. This would involve determining if the joinder was necessary or desirable for the just and convenient determination of the dispute between the existing parties, or if Goff & Ors had a direct interest in the subject matter of the litigation.

Foster J ordered that the applicant, Farro, pay the costs of the fifth and sixth respondents, Goff & Ors, on a party/party basis. These costs are to be agreed within one month or assessed, with payment due within one month of assessment. This outcome suggests that the application to join Goff & Ors was either unsuccessful or that the Court determined costs should lie with the applicant for other reasons related to the application.
