Miller & Anor and Harvey & Anor

The proceeding concerned an application brought by the applicants, Miller and another, against the respondents, Harvey and another, before Thornton J of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, however, the orders indicate that certain paragraphs of the applicants' originating application were withdrawn and one paragraph was dismissed.

The court was required to determine the fate of specific claims made by the applicants within their originating application. The withdrawal of paragraphs 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the dismissal of paragraph 2, suggest that these were the operative claims or allegations that the court was asked to consider and rule upon.

The court's reasoning and the legal principles applied are not explicitly stated in the provided text. However, the orders themselves reflect a judicial determination that certain aspects of the applicants' case were no longer to proceed. The withdrawal of paragraphs indicates an action taken by the applicants, likely with the court's approval, to abandon those specific claims. The dismissal of paragraph 2 signifies a judicial decision to reject that particular claim.

Consequently, the court ordered that paragraphs 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the applicants' application filed on 9 March 2016 be withdrawn. Further, paragraph 2 of the applicants' application, as amended on 5 April 2016, was dismissed. The costs of the application were reserved.
