A prominent real estate agent who sought to overturn a more than $3.5 million order has been ordered to pay costs "as a mark of the court's displeasure at the pursuit of meritless litigation," a judge has said.
Francesco Anthony Morella, the director of Canberra Commercial (ACT) Pty Ltd and Canberra Commercial HR Pty Ltd, was ordered to pay the multimillion-dollar sum by the Federal Court of Australia in July 2025.
This was to be paid to Actgall, a business Canberra Commercial bought in 2022.
