GLEESON CJ:   In this matter the parties have indicated that they do not wish to put oral submissions before the Court.  There is a certificate from the Deputy Registrar that she holds a letter from the solicitors for the first respondent advising that the first respondent submits to any order of the Court save as to costs and that she holds a letter from the solicitors for the second respondent advising that the second respondent does not wish to supplement its written submissions with oral argument and that the applicant has indicated in its summary of argument it does not wish to supplement its written submissions with oral argument.

Having considered the written submissions of the parties, the order of the Court is that special leave to appeal, limited to grounds 1 and 3 in the draft notice of appeal appearing at pages 237 and 238 of the application book, is granted.

We will adjourn to reconstitute.
