Lifestyle Communities case – application for a stay pending appeal refused

A number of readers have told me that are interested in following developments in the Wollert Lifestyle Community case, discussed in an earlier post here, and have requested updates on the case as it develops.

For those who are following the case, the respondents applied to VCAT for a stay of the Tribunal’s orders until hearing and determination of a foreshadowed appeal.

That application was heard and determined by VCAT on Wednesday by the President of the Tribunal, who declined to grant the stay.   

A copy of his Honour’s reasons for refusing the stay are available here.

The Tribunal’s reasons refer to the orders made in the various proceedings by number (ie order 1, order 2 and order 3).  To help interested readers follow the Presidents’ reasons, I have attached a copy of the orders made in one of the proceedings with those orders highlighted for easy reference.
