CaseChat Overview and Summary
The matter of *Keysor and Treweek* concerned a dispute regarding the percentage of care arrangements for a child. The applicants sought to have existing percentage of care determinations revoked and new determinations made, alleging a change to the likely pattern of care. The decision was made by Deputy Principal Member D Lambden and Member Y Webb of the Tribunal.
The Tribunal was required to determine whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care for the child, and if so, whether to revoke existing percentage of care determinations and make new ones. The Tribunal also considered whether court orders had not been complied with, whether reasonable action had been taken in response, and whether an interim period should not apply due to special circumstances.
The Tribunal affirmed the decision of the Child Support Agency. While the specific reasoning for this affirmation is not detailed in the provided text, it indicates that the Tribunal reached the same conclusion as the Agency regarding the percentage of care arrangements. The catchwords suggest that the Tribunal found that special circumstances existed, warranting the non-application of an interim period, and that the existing determinations were appropriately revoked and new ones made.
