The Court declined to allow Federated Farmers to intervene because, although the Court has inherent jurisdiction to permit interveners, the proposed submissions would not assist the High Court in its primary task of reviewing the Environment Court's application of law to the specific facts and risked distracting the Court with hypotheticals and broad policy issues; accordingly leave to intervene was refused.
