Tiernan and Tiernan and Ors

The applicant, Tiernan, sought orders against three respondents in the Supreme Court of Tasmania. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, however, the court's orders indicate a costs order was made in favour of the applicant.

The primary legal issue before Cronin J was the determination of the quantum of costs to be awarded to the applicant and the terms upon which those costs should be paid.

Cronin J ordered that each of the three respondents be jointly and severally liable for the applicant's costs, fixing the sum at $7,000. The court further ordered that the reasons for this decision be transcribed and placed on the court file, and that there be a stay of payment of the costs for one month.
