Tadros v J&R Investment Services Pty Ltd & Ors [2008] NSWSC 63

Tadros v J&R Investment Services Pty Ltd & Ors [2008] NSWSC 63

The disputes in the Local Court are straightforward and concern arrears of rent and damages under a written lease, distinct from the complex partnership and debt claims pursued by Tadros in higher courts. There is insufficient connection between the Local Court and Supreme/Federal Court proceedings to justify transfer. Case management requires the Local Court issues to be tried separately and expeditiously.
