Lomas Executive Pty Limited had brought an action in the Local Court against Consultus Recruitment, alleging that Consultus had failed to pay certain amounts due under an alleged agreement. The Local Court held that there was no final agreement and dismissed Lomas Executive's claims. Consultus argued that the magistrate had failed to provide adequate reasons for the decision, and that there was an error of law in the decision.

The court held that the evidence did not support the existence of a final agreement between the parties. The court found that there was no enforceable contract between the parties and that Lomas Executive was not entitled to the amounts claimed.

The appeal was dismissed, and the decision of the Local Court was upheld. The court held that the magistrate had provided sufficient reasons for the decision and that there was no error of law.
