Ansett Australia Limited v Dominique Scherer

Ansett Australia Limited appealed to the Court of Appeal of New South Wales against a decision of the Compensation Court. The dispute concerned a claim for workers' compensation.

The primary legal issue before the Court of Appeal was whether the grounds of appeal raised any arguable point of law, as required by section 32(1) of the *Compensation Court Act 1984* (NSW), and whether the Compensation Court had provided adequate reasons for its decision.

The Court of Appeal found that the grounds of appeal did not disclose any error of law on the part of the Compensation Court. The judges were satisfied that the reasons provided by the Compensation Court were adequate and that the appeal lacked any substantial legal merit.

Consequently, the appeal was dismissed with costs.
