Noyes and Noyes (Child support)

This matter concerned an appeal by the applicant, Noyes, against a decision of the Child Support Registrar concerning the particulars of an administrative assessment. The dispute centred on whether the application for an administrative assessment had been correctly accepted by the Registrar. The appeal was heard by S Letch M.

The primary legal issue before the court was to determine whether the Child Support Registrar had correctly accepted the application for an administrative assessment. This required the court to consider the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* and the procedural requirements for such applications.

The court affirmed the decision under review, finding that the application for an administrative assessment had indeed been correctly accepted. The reasoning applied by the court would have involved an examination of the specific circumstances of the application against the statutory criteria for acceptance. The court's conclusion indicates that the Registrar had acted in accordance with the law in processing the application.
