‘Completely unfair’: Family takes WestConnex acquisition to the High Court | michaelkoziol
-style compensation stoush between the NSW government and the owners of a decades-old family business whose Parramatta Road property was acquired for the WestConnex motorway.
Despite having paid the $1 million, the government argued in court that Olde English Tiles had, at best, a “bare licence” or permission to occupy the land. This did not constitute a “right, power or privilege” over the land. “The implications are quite sweeping,” Gadiel said. “It’s very rare that a family business will see the need to execute a formal lease. That’s not how family businesses will be thinking.
Metropolitan Roads Minister Natalie Ward and Transport for NSW said it was not appropriate for them to make specific comments about the case because it remained before the courts.
