Koompahtoo Local Aboriginal Land Council v KLALC Property & Investments Pty Ltd & Anor (No 2)

The Koompahtoo Local Aboriginal Land Council sought to enforce an order of the Federal Court for the payment of money against KLALC Property & Investments Pty Ltd. The latter company argued that the order should be set aside. The Supreme Court was required to determine whether the order was a final order and if the case could be heard in the absence of the public. The court had to consider whether the order was final, and if so, whether the case should proceed in the absence of the public. The court determined that the order was final and, as it was not a hearing for the purpose of receiving oral evidence, it could be heard in the absence of the public. The court also held that the order could be enforced in accordance with the Supreme Court Rules.

The court found that the order was a final order, and therefore the case could proceed in the absence of the public. The court noted that the order was not a hearing for the purpose of receiving oral evidence, and therefore did not fall under the exceptions to the general rule that hearings should be conducted in the presence of the public. The court also found that the order was enforceable under the Supreme Court Rules, and that the company's arguments to set it aside were without merit. The court held that the order was a final order and could be enforced in accordance with the Supreme Court Rules. The case was to proceed in the absence of the public.
