North Parramatta Residents' Action Group Inc v Infrastructure New South Wales

The appeal concerned an application by Infrastructure New South Wales (the first respondent) for conditions to be imposed on an interim injunction previously granted on 22 June 2021. The North Parramatta Residents' Action Group Inc. (the appellant) sought the injunction to preserve property that was the subject of an appeal. The Court of Appeal of New South Wales considered the application for conditions on this interim injunction.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether conditions should be imposed on the interim injunction, which had been granted on an expedited basis. This involved balancing the public interest underlying the litigation, the merits of the appeal, and the potential prejudice to the respondent. The appeal itself was scheduled to be heard within seven days of the decision on the motion.

Basten JA dismissed the first respondent's motion seeking to impose conditions on the interim injunction. The reasoning for this decision is not detailed in the provided text, but it implies that the Court found no necessity to limit the effect of the existing injunction. Consequently, the first respondent was ordered to pay the appellant's costs of the motion. Further directions were given regarding the preparation and provision of documents for the upcoming appeal hearing.
