Quick Take

Where an appeal succeeds on the ground that the primary judge failed to give adequate reasons, and that failure is not attributable to the conduct of any party, an indemnity certificate under s 15 of the Appeal Costs Fund Act 1973 (Qld) will ordinarily be granted to the unsuccessful respondent.
