____________________

HIS HONOUR: On 13 February 2015, Justice Kiefel and I ordered that an application by Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union for special leave to appeal to the Court be refused with costs. By summons dated 24 April 2015 the Union seeks an order that the order pronounced on 13 February be corrected to provide that no order be made as to costs. CFMEU indicated that it was content that the matter be resolved without oral hearing. We are of the opinion that the summons should be dismissed. I publish our joint reasons. We direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the summons.

AT 9.32 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
