Australians at war on Dubai Waterfront

Sunland Group says two developers misled it about their friendship and the rights to a block of land, write Rick Feneley and Royce Millar.

When three Australians started haggling over a $63 million plot of land in Dubai, one says the other two kept him in the dark.

David Brown, who was leading the Dubai branch of the James Packer-backed Sunland Group, says the developers Matt Joyce and Angus Reed omitted to tell him they were friends. Nor had they mentioned that this friendship went back to their school days at Geelong Grammar.
