Matthews and Norris

In the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Austin J considered an application for contempt brought by Matthews against Norris. The precise nature of the underlying dispute that led to the contempt application was not detailed in the provided text.

The central legal issue before the court was whether Norris had committed contempt of court. This required the court to assess the evidence presented in relation to the alleged contemptuous conduct.

Austin J dismissed the application for contempt. The reasons for this dismissal were not elaborated upon in the provided text. The court made no order as to costs.
