Decision: |
Action by property owners for a declaration that the Defendant had an obligation to offer a parcel of surplus land to the Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs alleged that they had a statutory right of first refusal in the subject property. The right was said to arise from an earlier expropriation from the Plaintiffs. Alternatively, it was alleged that the surplus land had already vested in the Plaintiffs. The Defendant applied to strike out the statement of claim on the basis that there was no cause of action. The statement of claim was struck out and the action was dismissed. |
