CGU Insurance Limited v Plummer [2016] NSWCATAP 79

The appeal was dismissed because service of the hearing notice was deemed effective upon delivery according to statutory rules, procedural fairness was not breached, and the Tribunal's findings regarding the insurance policy and quantum of loss are final. Fresh evidence on appeal was not warranted since grounds did not justify a new hearing.
