Perpetual Trustees Victoria Ltd v Van den Heuvel [2008] NSWSC 350

The application for summary relief was refused because there remain significant factual and legal questions regarding statutory entitlements and the effect of the alleged forgery that should be determined at trial rather than summarily. The interests of justice require the second defendant have the opportunity to test these issues at a final hearing.
