- High Court
Leave to discontinue was granted because the proposed discontinuance constituted a fair and reasonable resolution of the representative claims as a whole: the Deed implements a Package that materially addresses the deficiencies identified in Dodds, provides class members with concrete remedies and processes, is supported by the defendant and the Crown, and is subject to court‑imposed conditions enhancing independent oversight, transparency and reporting (IOC engagement, a Package review process with Terms of Reference, periodic POPP dashboard filings and an 18‑month limitation undertaking).
