Council of the Municipality of Botany & Anor v Federal Airports Corporation

The Council of the Municipality of Botany and the Council of the Municipality of Rockdale, represented by the Attorney-General of New South Wales, sought orders from the High Court of Australia concerning proceedings in the Land and Environment Court of New South Wales against the Federal Airports Corporation.

The central issue before the High Court was whether to remit a specific part of the proceedings, identified as No. 40,137 in the Land and Environment Court, back to that court for further determination.

The High Court, having been presented with a consent order signed by the solicitors for all parties, agreed to the remission. The court's reasoning was based on the parties' mutual agreement to have the matter returned to the Land and Environment Court.

Consequently, the High Court ordered that the specified part of the proceedings be remitted to the Land and Environment Court of New South Wales.
