Parisi v Nigro

The appeal in *Parisi v Nigro* concerned a dispute between the parties, heard by Beazley, Ipp and Basten JJA in the Court of Appeal of New South Wales. The precise nature of the underlying dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but the court was required to consider the parties' respective rights and obligations as presented in the appeal.

The central legal issues before the court revolved around the determination of the appeal itself and the appropriate orders to be made in relation to the notice of motion filed by the appellants. The court was tasked with deciding whether to uphold or dismiss the appeal and the motion, and consequently, to determine the allocation of costs.

The court ultimately dismissed both the notice of motion and the appeal. In its orders, the court directed that the appellants were to bear the respondents' costs of the appeal on a party/party basis up to and including 26 April 2006. Thereafter, costs were to be paid on an indemnity basis, specifically including the costs of the day of the judgment, calculated as if the appeal had proceeded to a hearing with a brief fee.
