A fight over the sale of Dexus' shares in Melbourne Airport operator APAC “may well” go to the High Court, a judge said Friday, as the infrastructure asset manager tells the court the sale may be in the “many billions of dollars".

A judge has suggested an expert should access Tesla’s "highly, highly confidential" internal live systems amid complaints by a class action that the car maker's discovery of technical documents is inadequate.

Dexus is challenging the costs claimed by its opponents in a case over the sale of shares in Melbourne Airport operator APAC, calling out billed items that include after hours Uber Eats charges. 

Super trustee REST Nominees has dodged indemnity costs but is still on the hook for paying a "cast of thousands" after losing a bid to temporarily block the sale of the Dexus bloc of shares in Melbourne Airport operator APAC.

Two Deloitte reports commissioned by a Swiss law firm for Credit Suisse are protected by legal professional privilege despite access given to financial regulators investigating the collapse of supply chain financier Greensill. 

REST Nominees has lost an injunction bid barring the sale of the Dexus bloc of shares in Melbourne Airport's operator pending an appeal, after refusing to give an undertaking that it foot the entire damages bill if its challenge fails.

Metals Manufactures has launched legal action for $33 million in damages against Fletcher Building and unit Crane Group, saying it was misled into paying $170 million for plumbing supply business Tradelink.

Airport operator APAC says a default notice sent to Dexus over confidentiality breaches is at least valid against shareholders that initiated a botched sales process, hedging its bets in an appeal of a ruling that forces a sale of the asset manager's entire stake.

Dexus' decision to resist an undertaking as part of a deal to temporarily block the compulsory sale of its shares in airport operator APAC has been criticised by a judge for resulting in an "appalling waste" of time and money.

Super fund trustee REST Nominees is the first of the Dexus bloc of APAC shareholders to challenge a finding that a default notice issued by the board of the airport operator was valid.
