Corrick v Silich

This appeal concerns the question of whether a contract was formed between the Corrick Group and the Syndicate. The appellants, who are members of the syndicate, claim that the syndicate agreed to sell an aircraft to them. The respondents, who are other members of the syndicate, dispute that proposition. The High Court held that there was no contract to buy the aircraft and dismissed the claims. The appeal against the substantive judgment is dismissed, but the appeal against the costs judgment is allowed and the order for increased costs of 50 per cent is set aside. The costs award in the High Court is otherwise unaffected. In relation to costs in this Court, the appellants are jointly and severally liable to pay the respondents one set of costs for a standard appeal on a band A basis and usual disbursements.
