Litigation History

EventCitation or FileDateNotes
Primary Judgment[2007] QPEC 5510 Jul 2007Application for further and better disclosure dismissed; the document sought is likely to be directly relevant to the need for Eulcom’s expanded shopping centre but not directly relevant to ACH’s proposed development, the latter being the nub of the appeal: Skoien SJDC.
Primary Judgment[2007] QPEC 10015 Nov 2007Appeal against refusal by Council of development application for supermarket-based shopping centre; appeal to be allowed, subject to appropriate conditions being determined including conditions protecting the legitimate amenity expectations of neighbours: Robin QC DCJ.
Primary JudgmentP&E Appeal 3575/06 (No Citation)04 Feb 2008Orders for the purposes of a hearing intended to resolve issues in dispute as to the effect of the development on the amenity of the adjoining properties.
Appeal Determined (QCA)[2008] QCA 101 [2008] QPELR 60602 May 2008Leave to appeal granted and appeal allowed setting aside 4 February 2008 orders and ordering adjournment pending Appeal 11897/07; judge in P&EC allowed appeal in relation to the refusal of a development application by Council; primary judge had exhausted jurisdiction by allowing appeal, to consider whether the impact on amenity was such that the development approval should not be granted; supplementary hearing in that regard was beyond his power: Holmes and Fraser JJA and Chesterman J.
Appeal Determined (QCA)[2008] QCA 157 [2008] QPELR 60820 Jun 2008Leave to appeal and appeal allowed; order appeal to P&E Court 3575/06 be dismissed; there were insufficient planning grounds to justify approval of the development application; erred in departing from well-established principle that a planning court ought not substitute its own preferred planning strategies in place of carefully developed schemes of the planning authority, particularly where the schemes have recently been reviewed: Holmes and Muir JJA and White J.
Appeal Determined (QCA)[2008] QCA 17027 Jun 2008Costs following judgment in [2008] QCA 101; respondents pay appellants' costs of complying with orders made on 4 February 2008: Holmes and Fraser JJA and Chesterman J (Holmes JA dissenting).
