Glueck v Stang (No 2)

The proceeding, Glueck v Stang (No 2), involved multiple parties including the applicant, Glueck, and various respondents. The dispute centred on the applicant's conduct in relation to amendments to pleadings and the costs associated with these amendments. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The court was tasked with determining the appropriate costs that the applicant should bear due to his amendments to pleadings.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether the applicant was liable for costs incurred by the respondents as a result of his amendments to pleadings, and if so, how these costs should be quantified and ordered to be paid. The court had to consider the extent of the costs that were recoverable under the rules and whether the costs were already covered by previous orders. Additionally, the court needed to decide on the appropriate time frame within which the costs should be paid.

The court found that the applicant was indeed liable for the costs incurred by the respondents due to his amendments to pleadings. The court quantified the costs and determined that the applicant should pay a gross sum of $57,857.88 to the specified respondents. The court also found that the applicant should pay an additional sum of $14,847.76, subject to further application by the third respondent. The court ordered that these costs be paid within specified timelines, with the primary sum due by 24 September 2008, and the secondary sum payable upon application by the third respondent.
