N v N

The matter before the High Court of Australia concerned an application for special leave to appeal by Constantinos Adamopoulos and Olympic Airways S.A. against Qantas. Mr. Adamopoulos appeared in person, while counsel appeared for the respondents.

The primary legal issue was whether the Court needed to make an order regarding costs following the applicants' decision to discontinue their application for special leave to appeal. The applicants sought to discontinue their application, and the respondents consented to this course of action, provided that each party bore their own costs of the application.

Brennnan J, presiding, confirmed with Mr. Adamopoulos that he agreed to the discontinuance and the proposed cost order. His Honour then noted that the applicants had discontinued their application for special leave to appeal and ordered that each party bear their own costs of the application.
