Ings v Racing NSW

The case of Ings v Racing NSW involved a dispute between a horse trainer, Ings, and Racing NSW, a regulatory body. Ings had been disqualified for nine months for breaching racing rules. Ings sought an injunction to set aside the disqualification and allow him to continue training horses pending the outcome of judicial review proceedings. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

The court was required to determine whether an arguable case existed for the judicial review of the disqualification and whether the balance of convenience favoured the grant of an interim injunction. The court considered whether Ings' suspension would cause him serious prejudice and whether the interests of justice required the injunction to be granted. The court also needed to assess whether there was a serious question to be tried on the merits of the case.

The court found that there was an arguable case for the judicial review of the disqualification, and the balance of convenience favoured the grant of an interim injunction. The court held that Ings' suspension would cause him serious prejudice, and the interests of justice required the injunction to be granted. The court also found that there was a serious question to be tried on the merits of the case. Accordingly, the court granted an interim injunction setting aside the disqualification and allowing Ings to continue training horses.

The court's orders included an interim injunction setting aside the disqualification of the respondent and allowing the applicant to continue training horses. The court also ordered that the matter be listed for further directions and that the respondent be given notice of the application for judicial review.
