- High Court
The Court declined to grant the proposed declarations because the observations about Ministers' and Crown entities' conduct were expressions of principle rather than determinations of legal rights suitable for declaratory relief; costs were ordered to lie where they fall; and the Crown's formal undertaking (in the form of draft orders) was sufficient to protect the applicant's interests in Crown-owned land within the Spain Award area without further court approval.
