JAMES HARDIE AND COMPANY PTY LIMITED vy THE ELECTRICITY
COMMISSION OF NEW SOUTH WALES (TRADING AS PACIFIC
POWER)
SUPREME COURT OF NEW SOUTH WALES — COURT OF APPEAL
MASON P and COLE JA
24 February 1997
[1997] NSWCA 165
Mason P. The Court is of the view that the proper disposition of the
application is to stand over the summons, so that the leave application can be
prosecuted if and when an appeal after trial is instituted.
We do this on the basis that it would appear that the matter will be given a
fairly early hearing, and the expectation that if this is a test case, as it were, for
the Tribunal, the matter will be given a level of expedition so that this can be
resolved on factual findings, which will then provide an appropriate basis for the
important issue to be determined in a substantive context.
So those are the orders which we would make, namely that the summons is
stood over generally, with costs being reserved.
Orders accordingly.
