Supreme Court Argues Legislative Limits on Crown Lands Licensing
The court debates whether Board of Lands and Works may grant licenses for occupation and cultivation of Crown lands under Victoria’s 1861 act. The Chief Justice and Justice Williams consider if the Board’s discretion extends to non agricultural purposes, and whether licenses were issued under proper authority or ultra vires, with implications for subsequent trespass claims. The ruling questions the act’s structure, the governor in council’s role, and the legislature’s intent to promote agriculture.
