Leichhardt Council v Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales

Leichhardt Council and the Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales were parties to litigation concerning the application of a previous Court of Appeal decision, *Leichhardt Council v Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales* [2006] NSWCA 353. The dispute revolved around whether the orders made in the earlier decision should extend to "residue land." The matter came before the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the existing orders of the Court, made in the 2006 decision, should be amended to encompass the residue land. This required the Court to consider the scope and application of its prior judgment in light of the additional subject matter.

The Court ordered the amendment of orders 2 and 3 of its previous decision. This amendment was made to ensure that the principles and outcomes established in *Leichhardt Council v Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales* [2006] NSWCA 353 were applied not only to the land originally contemplated but also to the residue land. The effect of this order is to extend the application of the earlier judgment to this additional parcel of land.
