Czech multi-millionaire in legal row with Crown over the definition of a reserve
Stuff - National: 20-Apr-2023
A Czech multi-millionaire enters legal wrangle with Crown over a supposed reserve.
An attempted fix of a 122-year-old mistake is, itself, a mistake, the High Court has been told.
Lawyers for the Czech-born businessman who bought the Mt White Station pastoral lease for $28 million, argue the landlord, Commissioner of Crown Lands Craig Harris, shouldn’t be allowed to remove from the lease a reserve area known as Riversdale Flats.
The flats are bounded by the Waimakariri and Hawdon Rivers, and the mountainous boundary of the Arthur’s Pass National Park.
Lukas Travnicek’s company, Southern Ranges Ltd, is asking Justice Rob Osborne to overturn Harris’s decision at judicial review. The reserve status is disputed.
