Capron and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the matter of *Capron and Child Support Registrar (Child support)*. The dispute concerned an application for review of a decision made by the Child Support Registrar regarding the percentage of care for a child. The applicant, Capron, sought to have this percentage of care altered.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care of the child that would warrant a reassessment of the registered percentage of care. The Tribunal was required to determine if the evidence presented supported a finding that the existing pattern of care was no longer accurate or likely to continue.

The Tribunal's reasoning focused on the evidence presented regarding the actual care arrangements for the child. It found that the evidence did not demonstrate a change to the likely pattern of care that had been previously registered. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the Registrar's decision was not affected by an error of fact or law. The Tribunal set aside the decision under review and substituted its own decision.
