On 1 January 2007, Megabucks Ltd cleared a large area of land
looking over a bay in which commercial prawn trawling was
undertaken. The local council approved the development.
Megabucks Ltd cleared trees and levelled the area, stockpiling
all the debris (trees, sand and soil) at the edge of the land,
adjacent to the bay. The approved plans said nothing about the
removal of debris. However, under the relevant statutory powers
the council could have made the removal of debris a condition.
The council’s officer had inspected the site and carelessly failed
to notice the dangerous size of the pile. Had he done so the
council could have ordered its removal under another statutory
power.
About a month after the inspection, the pile of debris had
become considerably larger and its sheer weight caused it to
collapse. Tonnes of debris fell into the bay. The commercial
prawn trawlers, who operated under licences issued by the
council, sustained damage to their fishing gear while trawling
the next day, and were unable to fish in the bay for 12 months.
(a) What action or actions in tort may the commercial prawn
trawlers claim against Megabucks Ltd?
(b) What action or actions in tort may the commercial prawn
trawlers claim against the council?
(c) What damages would the commercial prawn trawlers be
entitled to from either the Council or Megabucks Ltd? Would
either the Council or Megabucks have a defence?
