73 Union St Retail Pty Ltd v J&S Group Pty Ltd [2012] NSWADT 212

73 Union St Retail Pty Ltd v J&S Group Pty Ltd [2012] NSWADT 212

Although the Applicant showed an arguable case for relief in the substantive proceedings and a prima facie case in relation to a sublease, the claimed case against the Respondent as head lessor was less apparent. Because the interim order sought immediate possession and would significantly affect a third party with an executed lease over the premises who was not before the Tribunal, it was not appropriate to grant urgent interim relief without giving that third party an opportunity to be heard.

Procedural Posture

Retail Tenancy Claim / Application for Urgent Interim Order

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the Applicant had shown an arguable case for relief in the substantive proceedings concerning a claimed retail lease or sublease of the premises.' 'Whether an urgent interim order should be made requiring the Respondent to give the Applicant immediate possession of the premises.' 'Whether making the interim order would improperly affect a third party with an executed lease who was not a party to the proceedings.']

Ratio Decidendi

Although the Applicant showed an arguable case for relief in the substantive proceedings and a prima facie case in relation to a sublease, the claimed case against the Respondent as head lessor was less apparent. Because the interim order sought immediate possession and would significantly affect a third party with an executed lease over the premises who was not before the Tribunal, it was not appropriate to grant urgent interim relief without giving that third party an opportunity to be heard.

Court Disposition

The application for urgent interim orders is dismissed.
