The Supreme Court of Victoria ruled that demolition and rebuilding are not proportionate damages even when a builder breaches contract. In Stanley v EWH Constructions West Pty Ltd [2025] VSC 699, the garage floor was built lower than specified, preventing the owners from moving their caravan through it. Rectification costs exceeded A$650,000, but the garage remained structurally sound and functional for ordinary vehicles. The court found the cost disproportionate and remitted the case for assessment of loss of amenity and caravan storage costs.
Police reported the incident about 10am. The fire occurred on the northbound lanes of the Midland Highway in Northern Tasmania. No injuries have been reported, and traffic delays are expected.
