Bandiera v Bilambil Community Preschool & Oosh Incorporated [2018] NSWSC 1903

The claim is not so unarguable as to justify summary dismissal because the plaintiff's membership status is unclear, the register of members was ambiguous, and there remain arguable issues regarding standing and available relief. The matter should proceed rather than be dismissed summarily.
