Millard and Haycraft (Child support)

This matter concerned an appeal by Millard against decisions made by the Registrar of the Child Support Agency concerning an administrative assessment of child support. Millard sought to challenge the acceptance of an application for an administrative assessment and an application for the collection of child support and arrears.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the Registrar had correctly accepted the applications for an administrative assessment and for collection and arrears. Millard contended that these applications should not have been accepted.

The Tribunal considered the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* and the *Child Support Assessment Act 1989*. It found that the Registrar had acted within their powers in accepting both applications. The Tribunal affirmed the Registrar's decisions, concluding that the applications were correctly accepted and processed according to the legislative framework.
