I'm not at all sure about the expectations. Anyway, there is a good
summary of the judgment at the beginning. You can see it on Austlii:

http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/cth/FCA/2010/24.html

It is 21 paragraphs to summarise the 200 page judgment. 

It's a good outcome, but given the big bucks involved, is likely to go
on appeal.
