Guthrie and Rushton (Supplementary)

In *Guthrie and Rushton (Supplementary)*, Murphy J of the Supreme Court of Victoria issued supplementary reasons for judgment concerning orders previously made on 27 November 2009. The supplementary reasons were directed to be read together with the original reasons for the purposes of any appeal.

The primary legal issue before the court was the correction of a specific paragraph within the original reasons for judgment. The court was required to determine how to rectify an error in its published reasons and to ensure that any subsequent appeal considered the corrected version of the judgment.

Murphy J explained that the supplementary reasons were issued to correct paragraph 44 of the original judgment. The court directed that these corrected reasons be published to the parties and otherwise made available in their amended form. This action was taken to ensure the accuracy of the record and to facilitate any appellate review of the original orders.
