Federal Court rules in favour of Perth Airport in legal row against BGC THE Federal Court has ruled in favour of Perth Airport in its legal row with BGC for the rights to build a modular housing factory on land sublet from the airport. BGC had been suing over Perth Airport's refusal for the factory to be built. However yesterday Justice Neil McKerracher ruled that ministerial approval of the airport's master plan was allowable, whether or not it may conflict with BGC's rights under the sub-lease. The ruling validates Perth Airport's decision to reject the BGC development application under the reason that the proposed development was inconsistent with the master plan. The Federal Court did however reject Perth Airport's claim that the sub-lease contained an implied term permitting Perth Airport to install infrastructure on the land, even if detailed in the Airport's Master Plan. None of BGC's claims for relief were granted.
