Bennett v Bennett

Bennett appealed against a decision of the tribunal which found that she was not entitled to repayment of legal expenses incurred in the course of an application to be made guardian and administrator for her mother. The tribunal found that the legal expenses were not incurred as a result of Bennett acting in her role of attorney. The court was required to decide whether Bennett was entitled to leave to appeal the tribunal's decision. The central legal issue was whether the legal expenses were incurred as a result of Bennett acting in her role of attorney or whether they were incurred for other reasons. The court considered the evidence and arguments presented by both parties and found that the legal expenses were not incurred as a result of Bennett acting in her role of attorney. The court also found that the tribunal's decision was not unreasonable and that Bennett had not demonstrated that the tribunal had made an error of law. Accordingly, the court refused Bennett's application for leave to appeal. No further orders were made by the court.
