    This is bullying of the worst kind.  The prospective land-grabbers’ arguments are spurious, not least because nobody can predict how NCAT is going to act, even when arguments are clear cut (and these certainly aren’t).

    That said, my money would be on NCAT rejecting their demands.

    The need for funds is totally irrelevant and I would be telling these people, in no uncertain terms, that regardless of the merits of their case (which are highly dubious) their methods – including misinformation and deliberate ingenuousness – undermine their cases. 

    You could put a very, very high price on the property – but I wouldn’t even go there.  Don’t open that discussion.  Tell them to take you to NCAT and say you will not only challenge their call but you will ask for all costs to be awarded against them.

    If they want a unit with a garden that badly, there are plenty on the market.
