The solicitors for the defendant responded advising that as the application was made pursuant to s 286 of the WorkCover (Queensland) Act and as the claimant had sustained a “non-certificate” injury that no order for costs could be made. See s 325(1). [2] The solicitors for the applicant/plaintiff have accepted this to be a correct statement of the position and do not make any submission seeking an order for costs. [3] In the end result there will be no order for costs. -- 1 of 1 --
