Justice Andrew Coleman

The lead plaintiffs in a class action over the compulsory acquisition of land for the WestConnex road project will press on with a bid to discontinue the case, telling a judge they have exhausted all options for funding.

A funder that has refused to continue funding a class action over the WestConnex road project is also fighting the plaintiff’s bid to discontinue the case, with a judge calling the funder’s opposition “very problematic”.
