VCAT hearing adjourned
The dispute between MAB Corporation and many of its NewQuay traders has been adjourned.
It is again listed for a directions hearing at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) on September 21. Counsel for the traders, Mr Frank Guastalegname said Metro Real Estate had challenged the legitimacy of 11 of the 27 traders, taking the action on the grounds that they were not owners of their properties.
The traders are claiming refunds of precinct fees they say were collected illegally.
