Connector Park Pty Ltd v RV Pty Ltd

Connector Park Pty Ltd (Connector Park) and RV Pty Ltd (RV) were parties to a dispute concerning a contract for the sale of land. Connector Park sought damages for breach of contract, alleging that RV had failed to complete the purchase of a property. The matter came before the Supreme Court of Victoria.

The central legal issues before the Court were the appropriate measure of damages for RV's alleged breach of contract, specifically in relation to the loss of opportunity to sell the land to a third party, and the admissibility of certain expert evidence tendered by Connector Park. The Court also considered the application of the *Lord Cairns Act* and the *Evidence Act 2001* (Vic) in determining these issues.

Geason J, Martin AJ, and Marshall AJ found that Connector Park had failed to establish that RV had breached the contract. Consequently, the Court did not need to definitively determine the measure of damages for loss of opportunity or the admissibility of the expert evidence. The Court's reasoning focused on the contractual obligations and the evidence presented regarding the alleged breach.

As Connector Park did not succeed in proving a breach of contract by RV, the Court dismissed Connector Park's claim for damages.
