GA and Ors v Department of Education and Training and NSW Police

The applicants, GA and others, brought an action against the Department of Education and Training and the New South Wales Police, seeking relief in relation to certain transactions. The court was required to determine the validity of the applicants' claims against both respondents and whether specific transactions were subject to judicial review. The applicants argued that certain transactions were unlawful and that they had suffered harm as a result. The Department of Education and Training and the New South Wales Police argued that the transactions were lawful and that the applicants had not suffered any harm.

The court considered the evidence and submissions from both parties and found that the applicants' claims against the Department of Education and Training in relation to transactions 1 and 3 were without merit. The court found that the applicants had not established that these transactions were unlawful or that they had suffered any harm as a result. The court also found that the applicants' claims against the New South Wales Police were without merit, as the applicants had not established that the police had acted unlawfully in relation to any of the transactions. However, the court found that there were issues to be determined in relation to transaction 2, and the matter was re-listed for a planning meeting to fix the issue for hearing.

The applicants' applications against the first respondent were dismissed insofar as they related to transactions 1 and 3, and the applicants' applications against the second respondent were also dismissed. The matters against the first respondent were re-listed for a planning meeting for the purpose of fixing the transaction 2 issue for hearing.
