LADA is a 'person interested' under s37 LAA 1960 because it was expressly named in the Gazette (Form D), was served with Form E and Form H by the Land Administrator, its representatives attended the inquiry before the Land Administrator and it filed a Form N to object to the award; these facts meet the standards established by the Federal Court that a paymaster can be a person interested where service, attendance and filing occur, therefore LADA has standing and its Form N is valid.

The Proposed Intervener failed to demonstrate a direct interest or to be a 'proper person' under O.53 r.8 ROC; commercial/paymaster status and service of Form E/G do not, by themselves, confer standing to intervene in an application for judicial review challenging the State Authority's decision under s3E of the Land Acquisition Act 1960; therefore Enclosure 15 was dismissed with costs.
