Cannuli v Altitude Property Pty Ltd trading as Altitude Property involved a dispute between the applicant, Cannuli, and the respondent, Altitude Property. The applicant sought equitable relief, which led to the respondent applying for the transfer of proceedings to the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The application was heard by the Civil and Administrative Tribunal (CAT), which had jurisdiction over the matter due to the nature of the claim for equitable relief.

The legal issue before the court was whether the CAT had jurisdiction to hear the applicant's claim for equitable relief, and if not, whether the proceedings should be transferred to the Supreme Court. The court needed to determine if the claim was equivalent to equitable relief available in the Supreme Court. Additionally, the court had to consider the costs associated with the transfer application and the procedural steps to be taken moving forward.

The court found that the CAT did have jurisdiction to hear the applicant's claim, as it was equivalent to equitable relief available in the Supreme Court. Consequently, the respondent's application to transfer the proceedings was dismissed. The court ordered that the respondent pay the applicant's costs of the application forthwith. Further, the court provided detailed directions for the proceeding of the matter, including timelines for filing and serving documents, listing the matter for hearing, and notifying the Tribunal of unavailable dates.

The final orders of the court included the dismissal of the transfer application, an order for the respondent to pay the applicant's costs, and specific procedural directions for the continuation of the matter. These directions covered the filing and serving of documents, listing the matter for hearing, and notification of unavailable dates for the hearing. The court's decision ensured that the matter proceeded efficiently and in accordance with the relevant procedural rules.
