Santos TOGA Pty Ltd v Price; Santos TOGA Pty Ltd v Price; Price v Santos TOGA Pty Ltd

Santos TOGA Pty Ltd brought proceedings against Mr Price and Ms Price, asserting claims for damages and an injunction. The dispute centred around allegations of misconduct and breaches of fiduciary duty in the context of oil and gas exploration and production activities. The case was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the respondents, Mr and Ms Price, were required to provide specific disclosures under eight distinct categories. The applicants sought these disclosures as they believed they were directly relevant to the allegations in the proceedings. The respondents contested the necessity of such extensive disclosure, arguing that it was not directly relevant to the allegations in issue.

The court found that the disclosure sought by the applicants was not directly relevant to the allegations in issue in the proceedings. The court held that the respondents were not required to provide the extensive disclosures requested. The court dismissed the general application filed by the respondents on 5 September 2025 and reserved costs.
