- High Court
Both requests for access to the pleadings were declined because the Council had no pressing need and would gain little at this stage, the Judge's request rested on incorrect assumptions about relevance to Freshwater Hearings Panels, the pleadings may change, and disclosure risked dissemination of sensitive sacred and traditional information; the applications can be renewed before the substantive hearing.
