Hamish McDonald Nye, Blair McNamara and Katy Gale

Since Burns v Corbett in the High Court of Australia there have been various cases which have limited the Tribunal’s ability to hear matters in its jurisdiction. This has been a major issue where a party is a resident of another state (eg. landlord) and the Tribunal cannot hear the matter. This limitation of the Tribunal extends to other areas including contribution claims under the Wrongs Act not being allowed in the Tribunal. New legislation is on the way but VCAT is facing many jurisdictional issues. To present this webinar, we welcome special guest presenters, Blair McNamara and Katy Gale from Brockhill & Usherwood Lawyers.
