Stretton and Gosling (Child support)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal considered the dispute between Stretton and Gosling concerning child support. The applicant, Stretton, sought review of a decision made by the Registrar of the Child Support Agency regarding the estimated income of Gosling.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether the Registrar had correctly reconciled Gosling's estimated income for the purposes of calculating child support liability. This involved determining if the available evidence supported the estimated income figure used in the assessment.

The Tribunal affirmed the Registrar's decision. It found that the Registrar had properly considered the information available and had made a reasonable estimation of Gosling's income based on that information. The Tribunal concluded that the reconciliation of the estimated income was correct and that no error had been made in the assessment.
