Bernal and Bernal 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 Bernal, sought to appeal the SSAT's decision concerning child support.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the SSAT had erred in its determination of the child support assessment. This involved considering the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* (Cth) and the *Child Support Assessment Act 1989* (Cth), and whether the SSAT had correctly applied these to the facts before it.

Judge Cassidy dismissed the Notice of Appeal. The reasons for this dismissal are not detailed in the provided text, but the outcome indicates that the Court found no error in the SSAT's decision that warranted intervention. The orders reflect the final disposition of the appeal.
