Bond’s Bell group litigation never dies: High Court strikes down WA laws as constitutionally invalid
Bell Group N. V (in liquidation) v Western Australia [2016] HCA 21
Alan Bond passed away last year, but the legal battles over the 1990 collapse of his Bell Group companies may yet continue. The High Court has declared state legislation, which was designed to end the long-running litigation by short-circuiting certain aspects of the Corporations Act 2001 (C’th), constitutionally invalid.
