Procedural Posture

Application for Stay of Proceedings in the Land and Environment Court Pending Proceedings in the Court of Appeal Concerning Joinder/review / Interlocutory Motion Before the Court of Appeal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Land and Environment Court proceedings should be stayed or restrained pending resolution of the proceedings in the Court of Appeal.' 'Whether there was a danger that proceedings in the Land and Environment Court could be disposed of without involvement of the applicant under a s 34 agreement.' "Whether a Judge of the Land and Environment Court had power to review the Registrar's refusal of the applicant's joinder application."]

Because there was uncertainty as to the Council's true position and a risk that the Land and Environment Court proceedings could proceed or be disposed of while the Court of Appeal proceedings about joinder/review remained unresolved, the safer course was to restrain the Land and Environment Court from dealing with the proceedings pending resolution of the proceedings in the Court of Appeal.

Stay/restraint granted; matter stood over; costs reserved.
