CaseChat Overview and Summary

The matter of *Loomis and Thurston and Anor* concerned an appeal to the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The applicant, Ms Loomis, sought to appeal a decision made by the Child Support Registrar. The precise nature of the dispute leading to the Registrar's decision is not detailed, but it involved a child support assessment.

The primary legal issue before Forrest J was whether the Registrar's decision regarding the child support assessment was reviewable by the Court, and if so, whether that decision should be set aside. The applicant sought to challenge the Registrar's determination, implying a dispute over the correctness of the child support calculation or the underlying assumptions made.

Forrest J dismissed the applicant's amended notice of appeal. The judgment indicates that the Court found no grounds to interfere with the Registrar's decision. The reasoning for this dismissal is not elaborated upon in the provided text, but the outcome signifies that the applicant failed to persuade the Court that the Registrar's assessment was erroneous or otherwise unlawful.
