Rogers and Bloom

In the matter of Rogers and Bloom, heard before Berman J, the parties brought a Contravention Application before the Court. The precise nature of the contravention and the underlying dispute are not detailed in the provided text, but the application proceeded to a stage where penalty and costs were to be determined.

The central legal issue before the Court was the determination of appropriate penalties and costs arising from the contravention application. The Court was required to consider submissions from both parties on these matters.

Berman J adjourned the Contravention Application to a future date for the express purpose of hearing submissions from the parties regarding penalty and costs. This indicates that the Court had likely already made a determination on the substantive contravention itself, and the current stage of proceedings was focused on the consequences of that contravention. The Court's reasoning, as evidenced by the order, was to allow for a formal hearing of arguments on penalty and costs.

The Court ordered that the Contravention Application be adjourned to 13 February 2014 at 2.15pm, before the Honourable Justice Berman, for the parties to make submissions on penalty and costs.
