Banerjee and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

The case of *Banerjee and Child Support Registrar* concerned a dispute regarding the percentage of care arrangements for a child. The applicant, Banerjee, sought to challenge a decision made by the Child Support Registrar concerning these arrangements. The matter came before the court for review of the Registrar's decision.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child, and if so, from what date any new percentage of care determinations should take effect. The court also considered whether there were special circumstances that prevented the applicant from lodging their objection within the prescribed time limits.

Justice Leonard M determined that the evidence did not establish a change to the likely pattern of care that would warrant a revocation of existing percentage of care determinations and the making of new ones. Furthermore, the court found that no special circumstances existed that would justify accepting the applicant's objection outside the statutory timeframe. Consequently, the court set aside the decision under review and substituted its own decision.
