Stringer v ILOOKProperty

In Stringer v ILOOKProperty, the appellant, Stringer, sought to appeal the termination of a residential tenancy, which was enforced by the execution of a warrant. Stringer argued that the first respondent, ILOOKProperty, had wrongfully terminated the tenancy by entering into an agreement with the second respondent, who was to take possession of the property. The case was heard before the Queensland Appeal Tribunal.

The legal issues that arose in this case were whether the grounds of appeal correctly asserted any error and whether the tribunal had the right to grant leave to appeal or hear an appeal in these circumstances. The tribunal had to determine if there was a sufficient basis for an appeal and if the application was properly made under the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2009 (Qld).

The tribunal found that the grounds of appeal did not assert any error, and the application to terminate the tenancy was grounded upon the failure to leave at the end of a fixed term tenancy. The tribunal also determined that the application for leave to appeal or appeal was not made in accordance with the Act. The tribunal held that it did not have the jurisdiction to grant leave to appeal or hear the appeal as the application did not meet the necessary requirements. Therefore, the tribunal dismissed the application for leave to appeal or appeal.
