The Court of Appeal has dismissed an application by Eastman Enterprises Ltd to have its appeal against the termination of its CEPEP contract heard on an urgent basis.

Justice Nolan Bereaux, delivering the ruling, said the case did not demonstrate the level of urgency required to be prioritised ahead of other matters before the court. He noted that while the company raised concerns about hardship faced by displaced workers, the affidavit evidence presented lacked the necessary cogency to satisfy the legal test for expedition.
