Quick Take

The Court reserved three questions for the Court of Appeal concerning whether the existence of a Victorian group costs order is relevant when considering transfer of proceedings to NSW under s 1337H of the Corporations Act, and whether such an order would remain enforceable if the proceedings were transferred. The Court did not decide these substantive issues but found they raised questions of general importance warranting appellate consideration before any transfer decision.
