Druett v Segal [2011] FCA 1191

Druett v Segal [2011] FCA 1191

The Registrar's refusal was correct because the notice of appeal did not articulate a question of law in relation to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal decision, making the notice an abuse of process and frivolous and vexatious. The application was therefore dismissed.
