Court settles stoush between Liberal Party NSW and federal executives
A stoush between NSW branch of the Liberal Party and federal executives has been settled by the Supreme Court.
NSW member Matthew Camenzuli sought an urgent declaration that members of the state executive could continue in office beyond Monday, after they missed an annual general meeting (AGM) to select new office holders because of COVID-19 – a meeting they were formally obliged to hold.
The federal executive had given them Monday as a deadline, after which it would step in to choose candidates for the federal election.
However Mr Camenzuli on Friday claimed a Supreme Court victory that will allow the state executive to stay in office after Monday — the day office holders' term ends.
