Legal Battle Over Garnishee Order In Commonwealth NSW Case
In Melbourne a full bench of six judges heard NSW Government seeks to stop Commonwealth from using garnishee provisions to collect alleged overseas debt from New South Wales. NSW counters claiming the Commonwealth owes £15,346,053 under various agreements. An injunction to halt proclamation until March 29 was sought to allow objections, with NSW opposing. The Commonwealth side argued chaos and taxation confusion if funds are seized, while NSW warned against forcing revenue seizure before funds reach treasuries. The court considered delaying proceedings to Monday or Tuesday as arguments unfolded.
