Boland v Boland [2012] NSWLEC 260

Boland v Boland [2012] NSWLEC 260

The Court extended the caveat for the agreed short period because Schedule 1A of the Water Management Act 2000 gave it jurisdiction to do so and the parties consented. The Court transferred the proceedings because the controversy involved the caveat, the pending Supreme Court equity proceedings were closely associated and therefore related, the pleadings and relief in those proceedings went beyond this Court's jurisdiction, and the Court's special expertise was not needed.
