Corporates, regulators and lawyers alike will be poring over the Federal Court's reasons on Monday for dismissing a pivotal greenwashing case against gas giant Santos, but experts say the 250-page judgment is unlikely to deter further litigation.

A court has tossed a landmark greenwashing case against Santos alleging it misled investors by falsely representing that it had a plausible path to net zero by 2040.

A judge has tossed a challenge by the Palestine Action Group to the NSW government's decision to declare the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog a 'major event' triggering new protest rules enacted in the wake of the Bondi massacre. 

A United Nations special rapporteur is seeking court approval to intervene in a lawsuit by First Nations and pro-Palestine activists challenging laws passed in the wake of the Bondi massacre that bar protests after a terrorist incident.

Having lost a challenge to privatisation agreements by NSW Ports, the competition regulator wants to intervene in a High Court appeal by Mayfield Developments, which failed in its own case against the port authority.

The competition regulator is seeking to intervene in Mayfield Development's appeal to the High Court in a case the developer says could have "startling" consequences.

Twenty-three barristers in NSW have joined the silk ranks, including a leading defamation lawyer who was on the Fairfax legal team that defeated accused war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith's defamation suit.

Mayfield Developments has argued the High Court should overturn a finding that NSW Ports was protected by derivative Crown immunity in entering allegedly uncompetitive agreements to privatise two ports, saying the decision could have “startling” consequences such as allowing the state to devise cartel arrangements.

A lease granted to developer Quarry Street over the site of the abandoned Paddington Bowling Club did not constitute use of the land under Aboriginal land rights legislation, a High Court majority has found.

Mayfield Development has been granted the High Court's leave to make its argument that derivative Crown immunity does not apply to NSW Ports, in a seven-year-old competition case.
