Legal action against the park by a group of seven Milsons Point residents and one developer began again in April 2005.[47] The claim was of noise nuisance from the amusement rides, particularly those in Maloney's Corner.[47] The case was defeated when legislation was passed by the New South Wales government protecting Luna Park from such claims, although it was later revealed that these laws may have been influenced by court documents leaked to then-Tourism, Sport, and Recreation minister Sandra Nori by two Luna Park executives.[47] The executives were charged with contempt of court in August 2007.[47] A new case began in June 2007, with the residents instead claiming breaches of the Trade Practices Act.[48] Stating that they had been misled as to the types of amusement ride that were located in the Maloney's Corner area, the residents and developer attempted to claim over $20 million in damages, and demanded the relocation or permanent closure of the Ranger and Spider rides.[48] The case was dismissed by the Supreme Court of New South Wales on 6 February 2009, with the supervising Justice ruling that the development applications submitted by the park had not been "misleading or deceptive", as claimed.[49]
