Primary Judgment[2007] QSC 9630 Apr 2007Application to strike out parts of statement of claim; claim for damages for breach of contract arising from defective building works requiring demolition and rebuilding; the prospect of an actual rectification of the work would at least be a relevant matter in considering whether it was reasonable for the plaintiff to recover that cost of demolition: strike out application partially successful: McMurdo J.
Primary Judgment[2010] QSC 28030 Jul 2010Application to strike out parts of statement of claim; claim for damages for breach of contract arising from defective building works requiring demolition and rebuilding; plea is a specific statement of matters which, if not specifically stated, may have taken defendant by surprise; strike out application dismissed and further and better particulars ordered: Daubney J.
Primary Judgment[2012] QSC 14230 May 2012Application by defendants for security for further security for costs; clear that plaintiff would not be able to pay costs if ordered to; application granted: Daubney J.

Appeal Determined (QCA)[2006] QCA 43403 Nov 2006Appeal against [2006] QSC 79 dismissed with costs; in the absence of a pleading of facts apt to explain how it is that demolition and rebuilding of buildings on land owned by others can be achieved, the plaintiff's case, as presently pleaded, is embarrassing: Williams and Keane JJA, and Mackenzie J.
Appeal Determined (QCA)[2007] QCA 402 [2008] 2 Qd R 15816 Nov 2007Appeal from [2007] QSC 96 dismissed with costs; appeal against successful strike out application against statement of claim, alleging entitlement to the cost of demolition and reconstruction of a development arising from an alleged breach of contract claim; claim could not succeed where alleged that defects had not affected its return from the contractually intended commercial realisation of the development: Williams, Keane and Holmes JJA.
