Australian High Court halts plan to nationalize private banks
The six member Australian High Court ruled the government plan to nationalize private banks invalid under sections 5 and 92 of the constitution. Chief Justice Latham ordered the act not to take effect and to pay the case costs, with one justice dissenting on asset acquisition terms. The ruling paused the 1947 Bank Act provision to replace directors and transfer assets.
