The Court proposed that amici curiae already appointed to act as contradictors with respect to a public interest immunity claim of the Chief Commissioner of Police should also be appointed to act as contradictors with respect to whether to release to the accused restricted evidence the subject of a non-publication order made under under the Major Crime (Investigative Powers) Act 2004 (Vic) (Act). The Chief Commissioner and the Chief Examiner appointed under the Act opposed the further appointment and the release of the restricted evidence.
