Maund v Crown in right of the State of New South Wales (No 2)

In *Maund v Crown in right of the State of New South Wales (No 2)*, the appeal concerned the formulation of orders following an earlier determination by the Court of Appeal of New South Wales. The parties involved were Ms Maund (the appellant) and the Crown in right of the State of New South Wales (the respondent).

The central legal issue before the Court was how to give effect to its previous reasons for judgment by formulating precise orders that reflected the court's findings. This involved determining the specific amounts to be awarded to the plaintiff (the respondent to the appeal) and the obligations of Ms Maund regarding repayments to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

The Court allowed the appeal in part, setting aside an earlier order made by Lindsay J. In its place, the Court entered judgment for the plaintiff in the sum of $499,424.63, which included interest. Additionally, the Court ordered that Ms Maund was to pay to the State the entirety of any amount refunded to her by the ATO, including any interest. The Court clarified that these two obligations were distinct and that satisfaction of one did not discharge any part of the other. The Court also noted that Ms Maund had satisfied her obligations to repay principal and interest to the State. The appeal was otherwise dismissed, and Ms Maund was ordered to pay the respondent's costs of the appeal, excluding the costs of a specific hearing date.
