- High Court
Interim relief was declined because the applicant failed to demonstrate a real contest and a reasonable chance of success on the central argument that the applications should have been jointly heard; s91 was not engaged once the Regional Council decided not to notify; there was no necessity to preserve the applicant's position given minimal delay, no evidence the landfill could operate before the substantive hearing, and the residual discretion did not favour granting interim orders.
