Australia's highest court rejected Russia's application for an injunction that would have prevented Moscow's embassy from being evicted from a site in the national capital near Parliament House. An emergency law terminated the lease on security grounds.

A fence surrounds a seemingly unoccupied building on the grounds of a proposed new Russian embassy near the Australian Parliament in Canberra, Feb. 28, 2023. A suspected lone Russian diplomat was on Friday, June 23, 2023, apparently squatting on the site of the proposed embassy that the Australian government has vetoed.

In dismissing the application, High Court Justice Jayne Jagot described Russia’s challenge on constitutional grounds to a law terminating the lease as “weak” and “difficult to understand.”
