Stockland (Macquarie) Pty Ltd v Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd

The High Court of Australia considered an appeal by Stockland (Macquarie) Pty Ltd against a judgment and order of the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Queensland. The dispute concerned matters arising from that judgment and order, which was given and made on 18 July 1991.

The central legal issue before the High Court was the determination of the appeal from the Supreme Court of Queensland's decision. The parties, through their solicitors, had provided a consent to the making of a specific order by the High Court.

The High Court, acting upon the consent of the parties' solicitors, made an order allowing the appeal. Crucially, the order also stipulated that there would be no order as to costs. The matter was subsequently adjourned sine die.
