RAM awarded costs
RAM Spreaders’ Australian subsidiary NSL Engineering PTE Ltd has been awarded its costs in the patent and unfair trading practices case it brought against Australian Mobile Mining Equipment, Systems & Accessories Pty. Ltd (AMMESA).
As reported last month (WorldCargo News, September 2016, p1) NSL won a judgement from the Australian Federal Court declaring that its Revolver container rotating system did not infringe AMMESA’s patent. NSL has now been awarded its legal costs, with the exception of any costs incurred in connection with quantifying its damages, and its claim against AMMESA managing director Murray Bridle personally for unfair trading practices, which was unsuccessful.
Bridle was awarded costs for his defence against the unfair trading allegation, to the extent that any such costs can be identified separately from AMMESA’s costs incurred in the general proceeding.
After it won the initial ruling on 17 June, NSL did not pursue its claim for damages. The Court ruling on costs indicated that NSL had earlier proposed damages in the order of A$50,000.
