Property Builders Pty Limited v Carlamax Properties Pty Ltd; Property Builders (Constructions) Pty Limited v Carlamax Properties Pty Ltd

The parties involved in this case were Property Builders Pty Limited and Property Builders (Constructions) Pty Limited (collectively referred to as "the plaintiffs") and Carlamax Properties Pty Ltd (the "defendant"). The plaintiffs sought to enforce a settlement reached in a prior proceeding, and the dispute centered around the final orders that should be made to give effect to the reason of the settlement agreement. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of Victoria.

The primary legal issues that the court had to decide were whether further submissions raised by the plaintiffs on the question of the final orders should be considered, and if so, whether those submissions had merit. Additionally, the court had to determine whether the plaintiffs were entitled to costs, and whether there was any question of principle involved in the determination of those costs.

The court held that the further submissions made by the plaintiffs failed on the merits and were not sufficient to warrant reconsideration of the final orders. The court also found that there was no question of principle involved in the determination of costs, and that the plaintiffs were not entitled to costs. The court's decision was based on the fact that the plaintiffs had not provided any new evidence or arguments that would warrant a different outcome, and that the costs should be determined based on the usual principles of costs in civil litigation.

The court made final orders that gave effect to the settlement agreement reached between the parties, and that the plaintiffs were not entitled to any costs. The court also noted that there was no question of principle involved in the determination of costs, and that the usual principles of costs in civil litigation should apply.
