El Ali v Beaini Enterprises Pty Ltd and Anor [2022] NSWCATAP 230

El Ali v Beaini Enterprises Pty Ltd and Anor [2022] NSWCATAP 230

The Tribunal did not err in finding Yates Holdings Victoria Pty Ltd as the proper tenant, as this was confirmed by legal representatives, and procedural fairness was not denied to Mr El Ali, who was not party to the tenancy agreement. The appeal was refused as no error of law or miscarriage of justice was established, and the matter was largely moot as the tenancy had ended and possession returned to the landlord.
