- Court of Appeal
The Court held the Minister is empowered under the PWA to acquire land indirectly required for a Government work; the easements were objectively reasonably necessary to enable the SH1 widening and therefore were 'required'; the acquisition was not for an improper purpose and the High Court declaration quashing the notice relating to the easements was incorrect.
