A controversial call by former prime minister Scott Morrison to halt a gas drilling project off the NSW coast could be overturned by the Federal Court.
The federal government and energy company Asset Energy agreed to end their legal battle over Mr Morrison's decision, by proposing consent orders to the Federal Court.
Asset Energy launched a legal challenge to the PEP-11 decision last year, saying Mr Morrison had breached the requirements of procedural fairness and that he was not validly appointed as the responsible minister of the joint authority.
