McKegney v Roofley Pty Ltd

McKegney appealed against a decision of the Supreme Court of Victoria, which had ruled that a particular structure was a manufactured home within the meaning of the Manufactured Homes Act 2005 (Vic). The respondents, Roofley Pty Ltd, were the registered owner of the property in dispute. The court was asked to decide whether the structure was a manufactured home under the Act and, if so, whether the appeal should be granted.

The appeal raised two primary issues: whether the structure constituted a manufactured home under the Act and whether the appeal should be granted. The court examined the definition of a manufactured home in the Act and considered the physical characteristics of the structure in question. The court also reviewed the evidence presented regarding the construction and use of the structure. The appeal hinged on whether the structure met the criteria set out in the Act for being classified as a manufactured home.

The court found that the structure did not meet the definition of a manufactured home under the Act. It concluded that the structure was not a manufactured home because it was not a residential building constructed on a trailer or chassis and designed to be transported on public roads. The court further held that the appeal should not be granted because the matter did not involve any significant legal question of general importance or any other grounds that would warrant granting leave to appeal. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.

No further orders were made by the court. The decision stands as it was rendered by the Supreme Court of Victoria, affirming that the structure in question was not a manufactured home under the Act and that leave to appeal was not warranted.
