Parkroad Projects Pty Ltd v Luckey & Anor [1999] NSWSC 214

Parkroad Projects Pty Ltd v Luckey & Anor [1999] NSWSC 214

The court found the submissions of the first defendant and the intervener as to the construction of s 6(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (NSW) should be accepted, adopting a purposive approach. The Tribunal had jurisdiction, as consent was expressly provided by the plaintiff and, in any event, the facts did not place the agreement outside the Act at the critical time. Accordingly, the appeal was dismissed.
