- High Court
Interim relief was refused because applicants did not satisfy the statutory necessity threshold: evidence of irreparable or specific prejudice was speculative or absent, there was significant uncertainty over the timeframe for PLAP implementation, statutory processes and existing licensing discretions mitigate risk of irreversible harm, and discretionary factors including public interest in prompt implementation of the PLAP weighed against a stay.
