Mass murderer Julian Knight will be allowed to pursue two former defence force members he alleges abused him while he was a cadet at Duntroon.
The ACT Supreme Court has ordered the Commonwealth to give Knight addresses for the two former cadets so he can serve them with legal papers.
Knight, who is serving a life sentence in Port Phillip Prison in Victoria for what became known as `the Hoddle Street Massacre', in Melbourne's CBD, assured the court he bore no grudges against his fellow former cadets.
He is seeking to sue the Commonwealth over alleged assaults while he was a cadet at Duntroon in 1987, the same year he murdered seven people and injured 19 others during a shooting rampage in Melbourne.
He alleges some incidents took place at the Defence training college in Canberra, while another happened outside the Private Bin nightclub in Canberra.

Supreme Court Master David Mossop said it appeared the alleged assaults were "relatively minor" and happened a long time ago.
He told Knight to make sure he served the two former cadets with "coherent" legal documents.
The court would not allow Knight to get addresses for four other former cadets.
It heard Defence could not locate one of them and the Commonwealth had accepted "vicarious liability" for the behaviour of the others.
All the cadets Knight could identify as being involved had now left the defence force, the court heard.
