- High Court
An interim interim order was necessary to preserve the applicant's position because active demolition threatened to render the judicial review remedy moot; the applicant's case had sufficient merit given evidence that no s53 annual operational plan existed for 2022–23 and that significant procedural shortcomings (lack of notice/consultation) were apparent; there was no demonstrable prejudice to respondents from pausing demolitions, therefore the court ordered an immediate cessation of the demolition programme pending a full interim hearing and required disclosure of huts already removed.
