New HCA Judgment

We'll have the summary up soon but for now:

Arnold v Minister Administering the Water Management Act 2000 [2010] HCA 3

It's basically part two of the interesting case of ICM that was handed down last year (i.e. same legislative regime). The main difference is that it concentrates on s 100 of the Constitution (the right to use water).  We'll have a summary for this soon but it seems to fail on one ground of appeal for the same reason that ICM did so we also hope to get a summary for ICM out at some point in order to be thorough with this issue.

[UPDATE 25/2/10: A lamp post summary of the case can now be found here.]
