Chi v Technical and Further Education Commission

The applicant, Chi, sought leave to appeal from an interlocutory decision of the Appeal Panel of the Administrative Decisions Tribunal. The respondent was the Technical and Further Education Commission.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the applicant had shown a question of law that warranted leave to appeal from the Appeal Panel's interlocutory decision. This required the Court to consider the meaning of an "interlocutory function" in the context of the Administrative Decisions Tribunal's procedures.

Barrett JA and Sackville AJA dismissed the application for leave to appeal, finding that no question of law had been demonstrated by the applicant. The Court ordered that the applicant pay the respondent's costs of the application.
