However, this term was not referred to in the memorandum of contract for the 50,000 loan, so the contract failed to comply with the Act.

His Honour said that this submission was sound in law and that he expressed this opinion with "considerable distaste." Mr Justice Sugerman said he agreed in part with the original judgment of Mr Justice Ferguson.

Mr Justice Ferguson, in his earlier judgment, held that the term relating to the repayment of the earlier loan was not part of the the end. l) FT tune 13. Teps' daughter At their first taste of Hyland, many whisky drinkers stated that here, they felt, was an Australian whisky with the mark of greatness about it Its smooth, mellow flavour would enable it to carve a unique niche for itself. They have been proved right Conscious as we were of Hyland's remarkable smoothness and geniality (the result of maturing in small oaken casks), certain as we were that it would appeal to the discriminating we were not quite prepared for the rousing ovation Hyland actually received. It is a heart-warming tribute to the many, many years we have spent searching for a truly great Australian whisky, and it suggests that our determination to accept nothing but the best was justified.
