An attempt by Crown Resorts to block ex-employees from talking to class action lawyers about the casino giant’s thwarted business in China was contrary to the public interest, a judge heard Monday.
A sought-after court order by organic baby food maker Bellamy’s to limit legal costs in two class actions won’t come without a fight, a barrister for the shareholders said Friday.
A judge has ruled the former head of Titan Industries must provide evidence in the class action trial over the Rudd Government’s cancellation of a program that subsidised home insulation installations, saying there was no proof his testimony could be used to bring a criminal case or reopen a coronial inquest into the death of a Titan contractor.
The government has won court approval to amend its defence mid-trial in a class action brought by businesses alleging they were harmed when the Rudd Government cancelled a program that subsidised home insulation installations during the economic downturn.
