Equity injures Bolger and Sons over Pine Ridge sheep
Justice granted an injunction to Michael Bolger and Sons Ltd and Gerald Vincent English restraining Charles Nott from removing about 2000 sheep from Pine Ridge station near Dunedoo and from interfering with the plaintiffs possession of the property. Bolger and Sons had sold the herd to English while the stock was depastured on Nott’s estate. Nott, as surviving trustee, refused to recognise Bolger and Sons losses and claimed possession of the station, arguing the plaintiffs had no pasture nearby and would suffer substantial loss if the sheep were turned off.
