The faces of the Green Team outside the Land and Environment Court are etched with suspense during a break in proceedings as the courtroom drama unfolds. Lawyers for Newcastle Council argue that the pro-figs case contains a fatal flaw in that it was not mandatory for the General Manager to accept the premier's offer of an independent arborist to resolve the community stand-off. But there is a legal precedent to consider...Lawyers defending Laman figs contend that the cost of imposing APEC style security around Laman street for so long was a choice by the council administration and not a necessity. Case adjourned.
A Day of high courtroom drama ends in cautious optimism and a successful fundraiser at Lizottes to fight the good fight.
