Dr Quach v New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal [2015] NSWSC 629

The proceedings were appropriate to remove into the Court of Appeal because Dr Quach had related matters already before that Court, the Tribunal decisions sought to be reviewed were presided over by an Acting District Court judge so s 48 of the Supreme Court Act was enlivened, and removal under s 51(1)(b) would permit the matters to be joined and dealt with in the Court of Appeal.
