CASE: Rex Phillip Tory v Sarjit Kaur Tory [2007] NSWSC 1078
In 1986, Sarjit Tory owned real estate with her former brother-in-law Rex Tory. The land had great potential for rezoning and development.
Sarjit and Rex agreed that Rex would make the arrangements and applications for rezoning and they would share the costs equally between themselves.
However, twenty years later and the property had still not been approved for rezoning.
Rex was in financial difficulty. He wanted to give up on the development plan and just sell the property.
Sarjit, as co-owner, did not want to sell the property.
Rex applied to the Supreme Court to force the sale of the property.
