Re Brown; Ex parte Roundstreet Pty Ltd

In the High Court of Australia, Roundstreet Pty Ltd sought writs of prohibition and certiorari directed to the Chief Judge and other judges of the Federal Court. The matter concerned an application for these prerogative writs.

The central legal issue before the High Court was the determination of the appropriate orders to be made in relation to the application for the writs of prohibition and certiorari.

The Court was informed that the Deputy Registrar held a consent signed by the solicitors for both parties. This consent provided for the discharge of an order nisi previously made by Justice Dawson on 14 April 1987. Accordingly, the High Court made a consent order discharging the order nisi. The matter was then adjourned sine die.
