R.W. Miller & Co Pty Limited v The Shortland County Council

In the High Court of Australia, R.W. Miller & Co Pty Limited sought an injunction against The Shortland County Council. The proceedings, heard in chambers, concerned an application for an injunction where the parties had reached an agreement.

The primary legal issue before the court was to formalise the agreed terms of an injunction. This involved determining the precise wording of the order and ensuring it reflected the parties' consent, including the applicant's undertaking as to damages.

The court, presided over by His Honour, noted the agreement between the parties as set out in a document initialled by him. His Honour made the order in the terms of the injunction initialled by him, incorporating the applicant's undertaking as to damages and the agreed terms. The matter was then adjourned sine die.
