Grierson stands up to Aussies

Auckland entrepreneur Josephine Grierson said her Fox Outlet Centre outlet in Northcote will open on Labour Weekend in spite of further legal action by Australian retail giant Westfield to stymie the development.

The action by Westfield's New Zealand-registered subsidiary, appealing to the Supreme Court, would not affect any legal arrangements with joint-venture partner Dominion Funds and only one of the leases of the 50-odd shops at the centre might be affected if the action were successful.

As an insurance, her development company had applied for new resource consents anyway.

But Ms Grierson said she was confident the Westfield action had little chance of success or it would be a huge injustice.

She said she understood Westfield had seven other resource consent-related cases under way in New Zealand.
