BESIX Watpac and Frasers Property are fighting claims they are liable for defects in two residential complexes in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale, including the $2 billion One Central Park towers.

Lendlease has abandoned its bid to purchase a parcel of land owned by one of Australia’s oldest families for well below market value as part of its project to develop 6,700 homes in Campbelltown, Sydney.

A Sydney premium property developer has been slapped with a freezing order that prohibits it from disposing of assets over $10.6 million as it faces a defects suit from the owners corporation of a Milsons Point tower.

Lendlease’s hopes of acquiring, subdividing and selling lots in a Campbelltown block have been deferred, with a judge finding he could not make urgent orders with a question mark hanging over the construction of a relevant deed. 

The owners corporation of a Meriton apartment block in Sydney can add late evidence of alleged defects, despite a judge calling the case "an example of how proceedings in the Technology and Construction List should not be conducted”.

The High Court has declined a request by Shinetec for it to weigh in a dispute over an abandoned $185 million development in Gosford, NSW.

A Bechara family-affiliated builder and developer of a 99-lot residential building in a Sydney suburb have avoided liability for $3 million in fire safety rectification costs.

A judge has called out the “combative correspondence” between solicitors at Corrs Chambers and another law firm in a construction defects suit.

The funder bankrolling a class action by residents allegedly displaced by the construction of the $16.8 billion WestConnex tunnel has abandoned the case.

The company behind an abandoned $185 million development in Gosford, NSW can't lift a stay on a $37 million judgment it won against the Australian unit of China's Shanxi Construction Group.
