The Builder that cannot recall how he was engaged for the $2million project for the expansion of the Hopetoun Tea Rooms est. 1892 ™

In order for Lexon Group Construction to prevent me and my husband from asking any questions – an Intervention Order was applied against us in December 2021. An attempt to silence me, but not deterred.

The ‘Key Players’

The ‘key players’ that have been instrumental in the loss of the original Hopetoun Tea Rooms est, 1892 ™ are as follows:

The Block Arcade – the landlord

Allard Shelton – the landlord’s Managing agent

du Chateau Chun – Building Surveyor – for the expansion project Hopetoun Tea Rooms (2)

Tisher Liner FC Law – law firm representing FineTea Pty Ltd t/as Hopetoun Tea Rooms est. 1892 ™

SV Partners – Administrator / Liquidator appointed by FineTea Pty Ltd t/as Hopetoun Tea Rooms est. 1892 ™
Sinisgalli Foster – law firm representing FineTea Pty Ltd t/as Hopetoun Tea Rooms est. 1892 1892 ™ during Administration / Liquidation

Who was the Lexon Group?

The builder that was authorised and allowed by the Block Arcade – to resume works, to access the Block Arcade Hopetoun Tea Rooms (2) project site.

FineTea Pty Ltd t/as Hopetoun Tea Rooms est. 1892 ™ has no signed contract with the builder and has never agreed to allow them to be the builder for the Hopetoun Tea Rooms (2) project.

Lexon Group – since 2016 – continues to respond to the question as to who gave him the job for the Hopetoun Tea Rooms (2) that he cannot recall.

So a $2million dollar renovation was provided to this building firm by an unknown source and Lexon Group cannot recall. How convenient.

Let’s look at some of the shenanigans Lexon Group got up to before the Hopetoun Tea Rooms (2) project, during and after.

My husband appeared self represented to the Magistrate’s Court to contest the fanciful claims from Lexon.
