All the parties will be back in Court on 30 April 2008 at which time it is possible that the Judge will set a date for the ultimate hearing of the case.
The first hearing in the case was on 4 February 2008. Gunns made an application for security for costs, which is an order that would require LFF to give a bank guarantee that would go to contribute to Gunns' legal costs if LFF lost the case. The Judge delayed deciding that application until a later stage in the proceeding. He said that at that stage he was of the view that LFF should not pay security for costs.
