In the matter of an application by Leanne Cover

Leanne Cover applied for an urgent interlocutory injunction to restrain the publication of a special report prepared by the Integrity Commission. The application was heard by the court, which was required to determine whether the plaintiff had established a serious question to be tried concerning the alleged denial of procedural fairness and whether the plaintiff was entitled to an injunction to prevent the publication of the report. The court considered the statutory requirement for procedural fairness and the balance of convenience in relation to the performance of the statutory duty to publish the report. The court found that the plaintiff had not demonstrated a serious question to be tried regarding the alleged denial of procedural fairness. Additionally, the court noted that the balance of convenience did not favour granting an injunction to prevent the publication of the report. Therefore, the plaintiff's application for interlocutory relief was dismissed. The plaintiff is not entitled to the relief sought in her application.
