CIV3701
Assignment 1 Semester 2 2025
Unique Number:

Due Date: 21 August 2025
QUESTION 1

(a)

It would be inappropriate for P to use an ordinary application (motion) to institute
proceedings against Y because a breach of contract usually involves a material dispute of
fact. In application proceedings, the case is decided on written affidavits, and factual
disputes cannot be tested through cross-examination. Since contractual disputes often
require oral evidence to resolve conflicting versions, action proceedings (via simple
summons) are more appropriate. Using application proceedings in such matters is
discouraged and may lead to an adverse costs order from the court due to procedural
misuse.1
