    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ3923/2016

    The court found there were triable issues: uncertainty whether the right to R18 was a licence at will or a tenancy/contractual licence, disputed factual causes of parking protrusion (including traffic pillars and conduct of other users), and potential acquiescence by the plaintiff; because mandatory equitable relief would effectively deprive the defendant of defences based on acquiescence or hardship, summary judgment was inappropriate. Result: plaintiff's summons dismissed and defendant granted unconditional leave to defend with directions for pleadings and costs in the cause.
