Biomax Technologies Pte Ltd v Jabiru Agribusiness (Aust) Pty Ltd (No 2) [2016] FCA 600

Biomax Technologies Pte Ltd v Jabiru Agribusiness (Aust) Pty Ltd (No 2) [2016] FCA 600

The orders entered as at 5 February 2016 did not correctly reflect the Court's intention because the declaration of copyright infringement was inadvertently placed under a chapeau limiting the period to 7 August 2012 to 16 January 2013, although the reasons had found that Mr Beazleigh's flagrant copyright infringements continued to 28 May 2013. The error was an accidental error in the recording of the intended orders and was therefore correctable under the slip rule.

'Whether the declaration of copyright infringement by the second respondent should state the period between 7 August 2012 and 28 May 2013 rather than being confined by the chapeau referring to the period between 7 August 2012 and 16 January 2013.']
