Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HIS HONOUR:   Is Mr Torney in Court?  Would you be good enough to call Mr Torney outside the Court, please.

MR D.A. PERKINS:   Can I indicate to your Honour that I do not appear in this matter.  I perhaps should indicate that my instructing solicitor spoke to Mr Torney at 8 o’clock this morning and he was then intending to be here by half past nine.  Save for telling your Honour that, I do not think I can assist your Honour.

HIS HONOUR:   Yes, thank you, Mr Perkins.

DEPUTY REGISTRAR:   There is no appearance, your Honour.

HIS HONOUR:   The application will be struck out.  If Mr Torney seeks to renew the application, he may, no doubt, do so at some other time.  I will adjourn.

AT 9.52 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
