On 13 April 2006, White J of the Supreme Court of Queensland had before her a not uncommon scenario: interstate solicitors who had conducted litigation on behalf of clients in defence of proceedings brought in Queensland.
The issue before White J concerned a reference, from the Supreme Court’s costs assessment registrar, of questions of law raised by the unsuccessful plaintiff when the defendants’ costs came to be adjudicated.
The issuing of a costs statement by the Queensland solicitors which claimed the Victorian principals’ attendances as a disbursement, in accordance with Rule 714(3), was upheld because the Queensland solicitors “as solicitors on the record” performed work “in the Supreme Court” and thereby assumed certain obligations to the Supreme Court.

st as the 'terror-crats' (bureaucrats) and courts have been covering up for the invalidity of 'An Act to Constitute the Commonwealth of Australia (UK) 1900', they have been covering up for the illegal entity known as local government, and rates; but this is to be expected.
Below is one such example of the purported Supreme Court of Queensland covering up for the illegal entity known as local government.

 Australian GST and Indirect Taxes News - Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
The Supreme Court of New South Wales has had cause to consider the important concept of whether an entity is “in Australia” for the purposes of the GST Act 1999.
The court distinguished the concept of being “in Australia” from that of “carrying on an enterprise in Australia”, expressing the view that Parliament intentionally used a different term in the context of the GST-free provisions to adopt the narrower concept of corporate “presence” which would exclude the conduct of business by an independent agent.
Accordingly, the Supreme Court concluded that the mere presence of the individuals in Australia was insufficient to create a presence in Australia for the non-resident company, Morningstar Inc.  So too was the appointment of local solicitors to represent Morningstar Inc. in the Australian legal proceedings.  The solicitors were independent agents carrying on their own business.

The application is grounded on the fact that she resides and works in Queensland and on the cost and inconvenience of coming to Adelaide to give instructions or for the trial of the action.
The overwhelming factor is that all of the parties reside in Queensland, save and except the first defendant who consents to the application, and in addition a large number of the witnesses also reside in Queensland.
If the parties are able to reach a negotiated settlement of their differences, it would be pointless to transfer the proceedings to the Supreme Court of Queensland.

 Australia 17 November 2000 Supreme Court of Queensland (Downs Investments v. Perwaja Steel)
The court held that the legislation relevant to determine the dispute was the Sale of Goods (Vienna Convention) Act 1986 (Qld), because the parties to the contract had agreed that the law applying in Brisbane would define their contractual obligations, and that Act required the application of the CISG.
The court also considered the application of article 72 CISG and concluded that, if prior to the performance of the contract, it was clear that one of the parties would commit a fundamental breach, the other party might declare the contract avoided.
The court also expressed that the resale of the scrap to another buyer within two months of the seller's acceptance of the buyer's repudiation of the contract clearly satisfied the requirements of article 75 CISG, as it was done within a reasonable time.
