The applicants, members of the board of directors of a not-for-profit community centre and mosque, sought a declaration that the board of trustees unlawfully dissolved the board of directors and suspended two applicants.
The court found that neither the constitution nor the Corporations Act granted the trustees or the members at an emergency meeting the authority to dissolve the board or suspend members indefinitely.
The court declared the dissolution and suspensions unlawful and of no force or effect, and awarded costs to the applicants.
