Players Pty Ltd (in Liquidation) (Receivers Appointed) v Clone Pty Ltd (No 2)

Players Pty Ltd (in Liquidation) (Receivers Appointed) (appellants) appealed against a decision concerning their entitlement to use documents produced in prior proceedings. The dispute centred on the use of documents obtained during a taxation of costs in the primary proceedings. The appeal was heard by Gray, Blue, and Stanley JJ.

The central legal issue before the Full Court was whether the appellants were permitted to utilise documents that had been disclosed to them during the taxation of costs in the original proceedings.

The Court determined that the appellants were indeed entitled to make use of these documents. This conclusion was reached on several grounds, although the specific details of those grounds are not elaborated upon in the provided text. The Court found that the circumstances warranted making the orders previously referred to.

The respondent was ordered to pay the appellants' costs of the appeal and of an earlier interlocutory proceeding. No orders were made regarding the costs of the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner, the Licensing Court of South Australia, and the Attorney-General for the State of South Australia.
