Queensland's corruption watchdog is taking its legal fight over a report into the state's former public trustee to the High Court of Australia.
Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) Chair Bruce Barbour confirmed the body will lodge an application seeking leave to appeal the case involving Peter Carne which he labelled as having "very significant ramifications".
The Queensland Court of Appeal decision — which was handed down earlier this month – will prevent a CCC report which investigated allegations of corrupt conduct against Mr Carne from being released.
