REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

1 The parties agree that this appeal from the Federal Magistrates Court of Australia be dismissed. They disagree over costs. The appellant says she cannot pay. That is not a reason for not making an order, although it may be a reason why the respondent will not seek to enforce it.

2 I have been asked to fix the amount of the costs and am told that on a solicitor client basis that amount is some $1,000. I will fix costs at $650.

I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Lindgren.
