Quick Take

Section 51(xxxi) of the Commonwealth Constitution does not apply to compulsory acquisitions by State authorities under State legislation. There is no equivalent 'just terms' requirement in the Constitution Act 1902 (NSW). Appeals from Class 3 proceedings in the Land and Environment Court lie only on questions of law under s 57(1) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 (NSW).
