Summary

A building was used for the sale of produce from a nursery. Enforcement action was taken when the owner began to use the building for the sale of imported produce. The Minister's view that use for agriculture necessarily includes the selling of products grown on the land, but not the sale of imported produce, was upheld by the court.
