Appeal dismissed because trial judge correctly found appellant lacked locus to sue alone over an unpartitioned co-owned title, the claim was barred by laches due to excessive delay in asserting rights, appellant failed to plead a specific statutory breach or properly frame a negligence cause against the local authority, and the trial court properly weighed witness credibility and contemporaneous documents such that appellate intervention was not warranted.

The High Court held the Industrial Court correctly found dismissal was with just cause and excuse: the applicant remained a probationer, the respondent had monitored performance and given warnings via emails and salary actions, the dismissal was a bona fide evaluation of performance, the respondent's affidavit was authorised, and the s.33C amendment did not apply to proceedings commenced before its commencement; therefore the judicial review succeeds not and is dismissed with costs.

Court allowed the appellants' appeal, held the High Court erred: the Disciplinary Committee acted within jurisdiction under s103B LPA 1976 and the documents sought were not protected by solicitor-client privilege because they related to alleged fraudulent/illegal purpose (fraud exception to s126). The respondent had not exhausted the mandatory internal remedy under s103EA(1) LPA 1976; therefore the High Court's decision was set aside and the appeal allowed with no order as to costs.

The High Court dismissed the judicial review: applying binding Federal Court precedent, organising and promoting unlawful gaming can constitute a threat to public order under Article 149 and POCA; the obligation to refer a POCA arrest to the DPP is mandatory but the seven-day timing is directory and a short delay did not prejudice the applicant; delays in investigation and inquiry were satisfactorily explained and not inordinate; s21A justified withholding the applicant's recorded statement in the public interest; Board appointments and registration were valid, and absent Magistrate notes the…

Applicants failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the registered transfers were obtained by actual fraud; the material aged acknowledgement supporting the sale was admissible and unrebutted, there was no sufficient evidence of deliberate dishonesty by Respondent One or privy parties at time of registration, and the dispute concerned inter‑se rights of heirs rather than a public law exercise, therefore the originating summons is improper as pleaded and the reliefs fail.
