Archer and Archer and Anor (SSAT Appeal)

This matter concerned an appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Australia regarding a decision of the Social Security Appeals Tribunal (SSAT). The applicants, Mr and Mrs Archer, sought to appeal a decision made by the SSAT concerning child support.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the SSAT had erred in its determination regarding the child support assessment. Specifically, the Court was required to consider whether the SSAT had correctly applied the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* (Cth) and associated legislation in its assessment of the child support payable.

Judge Baker dismissed the Notice of Appeal. The Court found no error in the SSAT's decision, concluding that the SSAT had correctly applied the law to the facts before it. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
