Beattie & anor v Wechner & anor [2016] NSWLEC 1442
The Court was not satisfied that the bamboo leaves had caused damage to the pool filter or were likely in the near future to cause damage, and injury was not in issue. Because none of the tests in s 10(2)(a) were met, the Court had no jurisdiction to make orders for intervention with the nominated plants.
