D E C I S I O N

_______________

Hon Tang VP (giving the decision of the Court):

1. The matter is quite straightforward. The present application is indistinguishable from the application considered by this court in WFM Motors Pty Ltd. v Malcolm Maydwell, CACV 148 of 1995, unreported, dated 29 February 1996. I cannot agree with Mr Jat’s submission that that decision is plainly wrong. That being the case, I believe we are obliged to give leave and would do so. The cost of this application should be cost in the appeal.
