REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

  1. I handed down judgment in this matter on 22 December 2011, assessing damages against the second respondent in the sum of $3,087,845.61.

  2. I noted in the judgment that I declined to make any order in relation to a loan from the applicant to the respondents described by the applicant as Loan 2. At the time there was no affidavit before me which deposed in clear terms as to the existence of that loan or the quantum of any claim for damages in that regard. I provided time to file a further affidavit with regard to Loan 2.

  3. The Court has now been provided with the affidavit of Philip John Boyle sworn 9 February 2012 which properly sets out the applicant’s claim in regard to Loan 2. I have made an order for a further $854,267.32 in damages including interest accrued to 20 March 2012 to be paid by the second respondent to the applicant.

I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Murphy.
