Laing O'Rourke (BMC) Pty Limited v Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation

Laing O'Rourke (BMC) Pty Limited sought an interlocutory injunction against Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation. The dispute concerned an application for an interlocutory injunction pending the hearing of an appeal. The matter came before Campbell JA.

The primary legal issue before the Court was the principles governing the grant of an interlocutory injunction in circumstances where an appeal was pending.

Campbell JA considered the principles applicable to interlocutory injunctions, particularly in the context of preserving the status quo pending the determination of an appeal. His Honour applied the established legal principles for granting such injunctions, weighing the likelihood of success on appeal against the potential for irreparable harm.

The application for an interlocutory injunction was refused.
