- High Court
Given the complex, multi‑jurisdictional nature of the investigation, demonstrable diligence by Police, significant MLAT delays (some caused or extended by the respondent/related entities' actions), and the respondent's refusal to cooperate, it was lawful and in the public interest to extend the restraining order for 12 months from 10 September 2022; on the facts the court declined to require a s29 undertaking because the respondent's claimed prejudice was financial and diminished by her conduct and the realities of overseas delays.
