Racing Queensland Ltd v Cassidy (No 2)

Racing Queensland Limited sought a costs order against Cassidy following a previous judgment. The matter was heard in the Queensland District Court. The central issue before the court was whether the interests of justice required a costs order to be made in favour of Racing Queensland Limited, considering the factors relevant to such an order.

The court considered the nature of the proceedings, the conduct of the parties, and the outcome of the case. It was noted that the proceedings were complex and involved significant legal arguments. The court also considered the respective positions of the parties and the overall outcome of the case. In light of these considerations, the court found that the interests of justice did not warrant a costs order in favour of Racing Queensland Limited.

The court dismissed the application for costs, emphasising that the decision was based on a careful evaluation of all relevant factors. The court concluded that the interests of justice did not necessitate a costs order in this instance. Consequently, the application for costs was dismissed, and no further orders were made.
