Sonrich Super Pty Ltd as trustee for the Richardson Superannuation Fund v Place

In *Sonrich Super Pty Ltd as trustee for the Richardson Superannuation Fund v Place*, the applicant, Sonrich Super Pty Ltd, sought summary judgment against the respondents in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The dispute concerned a breach of a rental agreement and alleged misleading and deceptive conduct in relation to a Kue Ken 1105 Jaw Crusher.

The court was required to determine whether the applicant was entitled to summary judgment under section 17A of the *Federal Circuit Court of Australia Act 1999* (Cth) on the basis that it was the owner of the jaw crusher and whether the respondents had breached the rental agreement, causing loss and damage to the applicant.

Judge Street found that the applicant had established its entitlement to summary judgment. The court reasoned that the evidence presented demonstrated the applicant's ownership of the jaw crusher and the respondents' liability for breach of the rental agreement. Consequently, summary judgment was entered in favour of the applicant against the first and third respondents for $100,000.00, and against the second respondent for an amount to be determined after the sale of the jaw crusher. The court also made declarations regarding ownership, ordered the payment of interest, and reserved costs.
