Proceedings detail expert testimony on damp courses for a building dispute in Geraldton. Witnesses discuss cement rendering below ground, cavity walls, and proper timing, with a focus on health bylaw compliance and potential court interpretations.
In a housing case the court debated the damp course rendering under the specifications. Bardwell argued the rendering could be placed above ground or as an alternative, while Clydesdale pressed for a horizontal rendering and questioned evidence procedures. The exchange touched on legal interpretation and admissibility of authorities.
During a local hearing Mr Bardwell clashes with Mr Clydesdale over evidence limits and sub section D. The judge leans on an independent witness and the damp course rendering, dismissing the summons and allowing costs to follow. Clydesdale seeks immediate payment from the corporation as Bardwell questions the order.
In Perth on July 8 a strange follow up to Thomas Coy’s £500 damage suit emerged as four fellow workers in the West Australian newspaper dispute faced action over alleged conspiracy. Wages were paid to three men amid typographical union tensions and fears the dispute may split the union.
