Water supply ruling over water rates case in Gorton
In a Pall Court decision delivered Wednesday by Chief Justice Northmore, residents of Gorton who objected to water rates paid to the Government won a judgment. The Crown appealed from a magistrate’s dismissal of their claim, arguing the Minister or engineer should decide the water supply issue. The court noted Parliament had provided for a ministerial channel, but stressed the water source quality and hardship for residents, with the possibility of further action by the High Court.
