Some high-profile legal disputes in the Australian property sector will be contested in court during 2016. A tenancy dispute between Roy Morgan Research and Impact Investment Group will return to court in February. The Gary Morgan-led market research firm was briefly locked out of its offices in Melbourne’s Collins Street in late December 2015, before a court ordered Impact to grant access to the building. Construction, Forestry, Mining & Energy Union officials John Setka and Shaun Reardon will defend blackmail charges arising from an industrial dispute with Grocon that subsequently embroiled Boral. Sunland Group faces a damages claim by former employee Marcus Lee, while litigation is continuing between Grocon and APN Property Group.
