From www.holdingredlich.com: A recent court case, Horgan v Equi Ventures Pty Ltd, determined that an equestrian centre’s lease qualified as a retail lease under the Retail Leases Act 2003 (Vic) due to its primary use of providing paid services to the public.
The County Court applied the “ultimate consumer test,” which considers whether services are offered to the general public for a fee, and established a connection between grazing services and the retail nature of the business.
