THE NORTHERN TERRITORY OF AUSTRALIA
(Action DG 6006 of 1998)
[1999] FCA 1668
SUMMARY
In accordance with the practice of the Federal Court in certain cases of public interest, the Court has prepared a brief summary to accompany the reasons for judgment that are to be delivered today. It must, of course, be emphasised that the only authoritative pronouncement of the Court's reasons is that contained in the published reasons for judgment. This summary is intended to assist in understanding the principal conclusions reached by the Court, but it is necessarily incomplete.
