EAST & COULSON (ANTI-SUIT INJUNCTION)

In the matter of *East & Coulson (Anti-Suit Injunction)*, Mr East sought an injunction from the Supreme Court of New South Wales to restrain Mrs Coulson from continuing proceedings in the Industrial Court of New South Wales.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether an anti-suit injunction should be granted to prevent the continuation of proceedings in another Australian court.

Fowler J dismissed Mr East's application. The Court's reasoning and the specific legal principles applied are not detailed in the provided text, beyond the ultimate decision to refuse the injunction.

The Court ordered that any party seeking costs must file submissions and an itemisation of costs within 14 days, along with a statement of financial affairs. Further submissions regarding costs are to be exchanged within subsequent periods, with the final decision on costs to be made by the judge in chambers based on the filed material.
