    Court
    High Court

    Because the defendant, during the hearing, adopted a practical position resolving the principal impediments (agreement to relocate the power cable and to treat the works as subdivision costs) and the subdivision agreement governed the process, the Court exercised its discretion under s339(1)(b) to order division/subdivision in accordance with the 29 June 2017 plan rather than order sale of the whole property.
