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.

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.

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.
