Caccavo v Collins

The appeal concerned a dispute between Caccavo and Collins. The specific nature of the dispute and the court of first instance are not detailed in the provided text. The matter came before the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Tasmania, comprising Blow CJ, Porter and Pearce JJ.

The central legal issue before the Full Court was whether the appeal involved an error of law, as distinct from an error of fact, which is a prerequisite for a successful appeal in this context. The court was required to determine the nature of the alleged error and whether it constituted a question of law.

The court's reasoning focused on the distinction between questions of law and questions of fact. While the precise application of this distinction to the facts of the case is not elaborated, the court ultimately found that the grounds of appeal did not disclose an error of law. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
