B & T Constructions (ACT) Pty Ltd v Construction Occupations Registrar and the Owners - Units Plan 3324

In the case of B & T Constructions (ACT) Pty Ltd v Construction Occupations Registrar and the Owners - Units Plan 3324, the appellant, B & T Constructions, sought to appeal a decision related to the rectification of an approved plans map. The respondents, the Construction Occupations Registrar and the Owners of Units Plan 3324, opposed the appeal. The dispute was heard in the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory.

The central legal issues before the court were whether the appellant was entitled to amend its Notice of Appeal, and if so, whether the appeal should be allowed. Specifically, the court needed to determine if paragraph 8(B)(iii) of the rectification order should be set aside. The court also had to consider the costs associated with the appeal.

The court granted the appellant leave to amend its Notice of Appeal, noting that the amendment was necessary to address the legal issues properly. The court found that the appeal should be allowed to the extent that paragraph 8(B)(iii) of the rectification order was set aside, as there was an error in the original order that warranted correction. However, the appeal was dismissed in all other respects. The court determined that the appellant must pay the respondents’ costs of the appeal.
