Petrovsky v Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Incorporated [2024] FCA 500

Petrovsky v Southern Adelaide Local Health Network Incorporated [2024] FCA 500

The applicants did not establish a prima facie case for relief, as there was insufficient evidence of a joint venture agreement or a licence entitling them to reasonable notice before exclusion from the respondents' premises. Previous findings (Dowling J) remained undisturbed; undertakings already sufficiently addressed applicants' interests, and balance of convenience alone could not warrant relief without an articulated basis for entitlement.
