CaseChat Overview and Summary

In *Clark and Irvine and Anor*, the applicant sought to appeal a decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal dated 22 July 2015. The second respondent was a party to these proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the applicant could rely on certain annexures to his written submissions. These annexures contained documents that postdated the Tribunal's decision under appeal.

Judge Hughes determined that the applicant was not permitted to rely on the annexures as they comprised documents created after the Tribunal's decision. Consequently, the appeal from the Administrative Appeals Tribunal's decision was dismissed. The applicant was ordered to pay the second respondent's costs, fixed at $6,948.
