		If the District Court of Australia had proper jurisdiction to rule on the validity of the Release, as it already had, it is hard to imagine how seeking enforcement of that ruling would be vexatious.
		Whether or not the District Court for the Southern District of Texas has jurisdiction of this case is a function of whether or not the Australian court had jurisdiction of the suit filed by MacPhail to secure that court's approval of his original settlement agreement and release with Oceaneering.
		However, given the posture of this case, we REMAND this proceeding to the Southern District of Texas with instructions to hold this case in abeyance pending a judgment by the Supreme Court of Western Australia concerning the negotiated settlement.

	Allanson v. Toncich
		It is that the respondent found herself defending the action in the District Court because that was where it was brought, the appellant contending that a proper award of damages would well and truly exceed the sum of $25,000, the limit of the Local Court jurisdiction.
		Having succeeded to the degree she did in the District Court and having obtained an order for costs there, her contention is that the order should have been that she have the costs after 27 September 2001 taxed on the scale appropriate to an action in the District Court.
		As the respondent was therefore not exposed to a greater award of costs against her than if the action had been tried in a Local Court, it would not seem to me to be a necessarily inappropriate exercise of discretion to award her costs to be taxed on the appropriate Local Court scale.

		The Court accepts that Mrs Tang was at all times open to be swayed against the audit determination she eventually made.
		She recognised that the audit process buttressed the regulatory system, so far as exportation of the goods in question from Singapore to Australia was concerned; she frankly admitted this in cross-examination and the evidence of Mr Lee tends to confirm her understanding of the nature of the regulatory system.
		Where, by reference to the evidence, the Court concludes that all the goods in issue should be taken not to be conforming goods, then Article 50 has the effect, as I have found, that the price of the goods in question should be reduced to zero.

		J.S. In view of the prominent part taken by Australia in the recent war, and the enthusiasm which the achievements of the Australian Forces have aroused throughout the Empire, the story of one of the great States of the Australian Commonwealth may not be without some general interest.
		Western Australia was, and indeed from its geographical position must have been, the first part of the continent to become actually known, lying as it does just off what was then the main trade route to the East.
		Although the existence of the western side of the continent had been known for certainly two, and possibly three, centuries, it was not until the third decade of the nineteenth century--some forty years after the foundation of the colony of New South Wales--that the British Government decided to take steps to found a settlement there.

		On 14 May 1992 the appellant was convicted after trial in the Perth Court of Petty Sessions of two offences of false pretences and two offences of stealing.
		The Court Diversion report of 12 May 1992 makes that clear and tells heavily against the view that the appellant was still a person with respect to whom it would be appropriate to use the optimistic words of the learned sentencing District Court Judge.
		I am convinced that by the time her Worship came to deal with him the general circumstances, including his disappointingly poor response to community-based corrective treatment, were such that custodial sentences were appropriate in respect of the more serious of these offences.
