Prominent real estate agent Ross Savas, who has brokered record deals for some of Melbourne’s most prestigious homes, has intervened to block the release of details about a civil case brought by a former female employee against his agency.
Mr Savas, the managing director of Kay & Burton, had intervened in a Magistrates Court proceeding to oppose an application by The Age to obtain a statement of claim filed by the plaintiff, who worked at the firm’s Brighton office until last year.
Kay & Burton settled the matter with the plaintiff just days before The Age’s lawyers made submissions to Magistrate Brian Wright for the documents on August 13.
Mr Savas assembled a formidable legal team to oppose the media application, which included barrister Sandip Mukerjea and two instructing solicitors from Holding Redlich, while also engaging prominent Sydney defamation lawyer Mark O’Brien on a separate issue.
