Stait v Independent Commission Against Corruption

The High Court of Australia considered a matter between Mr Stait and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). The dispute concerned a notice of motion filed by Mr Stait on 17 September 1991.

The central issue before the Court was whether to grant a consent order for the withdrawal of Mr Stait's notice of motion.

The Court was informed by the Deputy Registrar that the solicitors for both parties had provided a consent to orders being made in specific terms. These terms included the withdrawal of the notice of motion and that each party bear their own costs. The Chief Justice, Mason CJ, noted this consent and accordingly made the consent order.

The Court made a consent order in the terms provided, and the matter was adjourned sine die.
