Northern Riverina County Council v Petts (No 2)

The appeal concerned a dispute between the Northern Riverina County Council and the respondents, Mr. and Mrs. Petts, heard by the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed in the provided text, but it resulted in a judgment and order against the defendants, Mr. and Mrs. Petts.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the judgment and order made against the defendants were correct. The catchwords indicate that no question of principle arose, suggesting the appeal likely turned on the application of established legal principles to the specific facts of the case.

The Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the original judgment and order. In its place, the Court substituted a judgment in favour of the defendants, Mr. and Mrs. Petts, and awarded them costs.
