IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF AUSTRALIA
NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY	NSD 2190 OF 2006

BETWEEN:	MIRIANA RISTIVOJEVIC Plaintiff
AND:	THE SHIP 'BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS' Defendant

JUDGE:	ALLSOP J
DATE:	11 DECEMBER 2006
PLACE:	SYDNEY

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1. Without opposition, this is a matter in which a vessel berthed in Melbourne has been arrested.  The two co-owners reside in Victoria.  The differences between the parties arise out of a breaking down of a personal relationship, which dispute will be resolved in the Victorian Supreme Court pursuant to Victorian legislation.  Whether or not that dispute may or may not be part of the same matter matters not.  It is appropriate that this matter be remitted to the Victorian District Registry of this Court so that the Registry Convening Judge, Ryan J, can deal with any application which may be brought.  Mr Warren, the co-owner of the arrested vessel apparently wishes for a sale to be undertaken to liquefy the asset. 

2. The plaintiff, through Mr Cecil, has indicated that she does not wish that to happen.  That dispute is one that would be decided by Ryan J, when the matter is properly before him on evidence. 

3. The only orders that I make today are that the proceeding NSD 2190 of 2006 be transferred to the Victorian District Registry of this Court and costs of today be costs in the cause and reserved.  I make those orders.

I certify that the preceding three (3) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Allsop J.
