Tynan v Meharg

The Land and Environment Court of New South Wales heard contempt proceedings brought by the respondent, Mr Meharg, against the applicant, Mr Tynan. The dispute concerned Mr Tynan's failure to comply with an earlier order of the Court requiring the removal of a house.

The Court was required to determine whether Mr Tynan was in contempt of the previous order and, if so, what penalty or enforcement orders were appropriate.

The Court found Mr Tynan to be in contempt of the order for the removal of the house. In reaching this conclusion, the Court considered the evidence presented regarding Mr Tynan's actions and omissions. The Court ultimately made interim orders in aid of its consideration of appropriate enforcement and penalty orders.
