Appeal
Both the Commonwealth and the claimants appealed the original determination, the Commonwealths' appeal was upheld and the claimants' dismissed. The determination was thus amended so as to be restricted to and apply to the internal waters of the Northern Territory, including the inter-tidal zone both of the mainland and of the islands within the claimed area.
The claimants were ordered to pay the costs of both the claimants' and the Commonwealth's appeals.

Famous quotes containing the word appeal:
“Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts and his higher nature—and another woman to help him forget them.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
“The appeal of the New Right is simply that it seems to promise that nothing will change in the domestic realm. People are terrified of change there, because it’s the last humanizing force left in society, and they think, correctly, that it must be retained.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
“You can’t write about people out of textbooks, and you can’t use jargon. You have to speak clearly and simply and purely in a language that a six-year-old child can understand; and yet have the meanings and the overtones of language, and the implications, that appeal to the highest intelligence.”
—Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
