Mollison v Aro Software Pty Ltd

Mollison, the appellant, sought leave to appeal against a tribunal decision concerning the recovery of a debt from website development work, with Aro Software Pty Ltd, the respondent, opposing the appeal. The dispute arose from a contract between the parties for website development services. The tribunal had ruled in favour of the respondent, and the appellant was dissatisfied with this outcome. The tribunal's decision was made on 27 September 2018 in MCDO 50081/18 (Maroochydore).

The primary legal issue the court had to address was whether there were any reasonably arguable grounds of appeal based on the evidence and arguments presented by the appellant. The court had to assess whether the tribunal's decision contained any errors of law or made any significant errors of fact that would warrant an appeal. The appellant argued that the tribunal failed to properly consider certain evidence and misapplied the law in its decision.

The court found that there were no reasonably arguable grounds of appeal. The tribunal had adequately considered the evidence and applied the law correctly. The court determined that the tribunal's decision was sound and that there were no errors of law or significant errors of fact. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, and the tribunal's decision stood.

The court refused leave to appeal against the decision made on 27 September 2018 in MCDO 50081/18 (Maroochydore). This means that the appeal fails, and the tribunal's decision remains in effect.
