Taylor v Tang

In Taylor v Tang, the applicant, Mr. Taylor, sought leave to appeal a decision of the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) that dismissed his claim of victimisation or discrimination under the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. The dispute centred on the applicant's argument that the VCAT's dismissal of his claim was incorrect and that he had a real prospect of success if the appeal were heard. The applicant also sought to have the judge recuse herself from hearing the matter on the grounds of actual bias or a reasonable apprehension of bias.

The court had to determine whether the VCAT's decision to dismiss the applicant's claim was correct and whether the applicant had a real prospect of success on appeal. Additionally, the court had to assess whether there was any evidence to support the applicant's claim that the judge should recuse herself due to actual bias or a reasonable apprehension of bias.

The court found that the VCAT's decision to dismiss the applicant's claim was correct and that there was no real prospect of success on appeal. The court also found that there was no evidence to support the applicant's claim that the judge should recuse herself. Therefore, the court refused the application for leave to appeal and dismissed the application for the judge to recuse herself.

No further orders were made by the court.
