Metropolitan Petar v Mitreski [2006] NSWSC 405

Metropolitan Petar v Mitreski [2006] NSWSC 405

The Court held that the injunction should restrain use of Schedule A property to pay legal costs of these proceedings incurred after 7 May 2004 and legal costs of the judicial advice proceedings and judicial advice appeal proceedings generally, because that form of order accorded with the intent of the earlier judgment. It declined to restrain payment of costs of these proceedings incurred up to 7 May 2004, declined to include an appeal-costs exception, and declined the plaintiffs' proposed exclusion concerning the church land, Holy objects and child care centre.
