O'Sullivan v Noarlunga Meat Ltd (No 2) (1956) 94 CLR 367 was a High Court of Australia case, in which a certificate, under s 74 of the Australian Constitution, was sought for leave to appeal to the Privy Council against the previous decision of O'Sullivan v Noarlunga Meat Ltd.
In the preceding case, it was held that the Commonwealth's extensive regulations regarding premises used for the slaughtering of livestock for export were valid under s 51(i) of the Constitution. It was argued in this case that it was a necessary consequence of the decision that all production, regardless of whether it was intended for home or foreign consumption, would be regulated.
Dixon CJ, Williams, Webb and Fullagar JJ wrote a joint judgment denying the certificate of appeal, and reaffirmed the limitations to the power expressed by Fullagar J in the preceding case. Kitto J concurred.
