Rob Anderson KC (with WDJ Macintosh) appeared on behalf of the appellant, instructed by HWL Ebsworth.
In summary, this proceeding concerned the appellant’s entitlement to costs following a successful appeal on a preliminary issue under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (Qld). The Court previously found that the appellant was not entitled to disturbance costs but may be entitled to more than just legal costs, and remitted the matter for further determination. This Court found that although the appellant succeeded in its appeal, both parties had mixed success and the outcome was contestable. Accordingly, no order as to costs was made.
