Lawyers for Gladstone Ports Corporation continue their efforts to have a class action case against the government-owned entity thrown out by way of 400-year-old torts.
The lawyers have filed an application with Australia’s High Court, asking for the decision of the Queensland Court of Appeal to be set aside, which upheld the decision by Supreme Court in Rockhampton’s Justice Graeme Crow on September 13, 2020.
Government-owned GPC is being sued by more than 150 people (fishers) in Queensland and New South Wales – from Bowen to Sydney including Keppel Bay, Stanage Bay and Gladstone region operators – who are seeking up to $150m in damages.
