Mosley and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

This matter concerned an appeal by Mr Mosley against a decision of the Child Support Registrar. The dispute centred on whether there had been a change to the likely pattern of care of the child, which would warrant a revocation of existing percentage of care determinations. The appeal was heard by Ms Hamilton-Noy, Member, of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was to determine whether the Registrar had erred in refusing to revoke the existing percentage of care determinations for the child. This required the Tribunal to assess whether the evidence presented demonstrated a change in the likely pattern of care that would justify altering the established percentages.

Ms Hamilton-Noy considered the evidence regarding the care arrangements for the child. The Tribunal found that there had been no material change to the likely pattern of care since the existing determinations were made. Consequently, the Tribunal affirmed the Registrar's decision, concluding that the threshold for revoking the existing percentage of care determinations had not been met.
