Scott and Child Support Registrar (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the dispute between Scott and the Child Support Registrar concerning the determination of care percentages. The applicant, Scott, sought review of a decision made by the Registrar regarding the care arrangements for a child.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the Registrar had correctly determined the interim period for which the care percentages were to be applied. This involved an assessment of whether the Registrar had taken reasonable action to comply with the relevant provisions of the *Child Support (Registration and Collection) Act 1988* when making the interim determination.

The Tribunal affirmed the decision under review. It found that the Registrar's interim determination was correctly made, implying that the Registrar had acted reasonably and in accordance with the legislative requirements when establishing the period for the care percentages. The Tribunal's reasoning focused on the proper application of the statutory framework governing interim care arrangements in child support matters.
