Walden v Broadwater Tower Body Corporate

Walden sued Broadwater Tower Body Corporate in the Supreme Court of Queensland over an interim order made by an adjudicator. The interim order required the Body Corporate to pay certain costs to Walden. Walden appealed this order, and before the appeal was decided, the adjudicator made a final order. Walden then sought to appeal the final order, but the Body Corporate argued that the appeal of the final order was invalid because Walden had not appealed the interim order within the statutory time limit.

The court had to determine whether the final order made by the adjudicator could be appealed despite the fact that Walden had not appealed the interim order within the statutory time limit. The court also had to consider whether the final order had any effect on the appeal of the interim order.

The court found that the final order could be appealed, even though Walden had not appealed the interim order within the statutory time limit. The court reasoned that the final order was a separate and distinct order from the interim order, and that Walden's right to appeal the final order was not dependent on whether the interim order was appealed. The court also found that the final order did not have any effect on the appeal of the interim order, as the two appeals were separate and distinct legal proceedings.

The appeal was dismissed, and the final order made by the adjudicator was upheld.
