Last week Magistrate Damien Dwyer quashed the countersuit because of a lack of evidence after the couple admitted they owed, and said they were prepared to pay, the fees totalling $39,705.27. Mackay Magistrates Court on Tuesday heard the Saunders had paid the money, but would now argue how much of the school s legal fees they were liable for. Barrister Stephen Byrne, for Whitsunday Anglican School, said the argument would centre around standard costs versus indemnity costs. Mr Saunders said he had a meeting with a Brisbane law firm about indemnity costs. Indemnity costs are usually set at a higher range than standard costs, which are an amount determined as what was necessary or proper to attain justice or enforce or defend rights.

Subscriber only A Mackay couple is embroiled in a legal stoush with one of the region s most prestigious private schools over its annual fees. Whitsunday Anglican School is suing Michael and Nicole Saunders for just under $40,000 for outstanding school fees between 2014 and 2018. But the parents, who are self represented, have hit back with a counterclaim, pushing for $34,200 plus a further $33,323.39 for loss of business, stress and defamation. The court heard Mr and Mrs Saunders, who had four children enrolled at Whitsunday Anglican School, were facing financial difficulties in 2014 and as a result entered into a payment plan over school fees.
