CANBERRA

CORRIGENDUM

Amendment to Reasons for Judgment handed down by 16 March 2000:

1.         In paragraph 81 line 6 delete the words “and set aside its decisions” and replace with:

“.  His Honour found that the “Tribunal’s decision as reached was so unreasonable that no reasonable Tribunal could reach it” (162 ALR 577 at 584).  Nevertheless, he considered that even such unreasonableness was not a ground of review under the Act.  Thus, the decision could not be set aside.”

2.         In paragraph 81 line 13 delete the words “They upheld Hill J’s opinion” and replace with:

“Their Honours, therefore, ordered that the appeal be allowed and the matter be remitted back to the Tribunal for reconsideration”.
