Jason Mitchenson (with P O’Shea QC) appeared for the plaintiff, instructed by Corrs Chambers Westgarth.
This case involved three applications made in relation to Santos and Fluor’s long-running dispute. The applications included a Power of Referees to determine privilege, an application by Fluor challenging privilege claims by Santos, and an application by Santos challenging privilege claims by Fluor.
The parties reached a consent order in regard to the Power of Referees to determine privilege. The Supreme Court of Queensland held that the defendant had established that its claim for privilege is properly founded, other than in relation to document 81.
The judgment is published here.
