Kennedy v Stockland Developments Pty Ltd (No 3)

In the case of Kennedy v Stockland Developments Pty Ltd (No 3), Mr Roy "Dootch" Kennedy sought to overturn a decision made by the Supreme Court of New South Wales in a separate proceeding, wherein he was ordered to pay damages to Stockland Developments Pty Ltd. The case revolved around an ongoing dispute between the parties, which involved allegations of defamation and malicious falsehood. Mr Kennedy moved to set aside the judgment, claiming procedural unfairness and errors in the court's decision.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether the procedural fairness was upheld in the original judgment and whether there were any errors in the findings of fact and law that warranted the setting aside of the judgment. The court needed to determine if the evidence presented was sufficient to support the original judgment and whether any procedural irregularities occurred during the hearing.

The court examined the evidence and submissions made in the initial proceedings and found that the judgment was supported by the evidence presented. The court concluded that there were no procedural errors or unfairness in the original decision, and therefore, Mr Kennedy's motion to set aside the judgment was dismissed. The court further ordered that Mr Kennedy pay Stockland's costs of the motion and that the exhibits be returned. No further appeal was allowed on this matter.
