Milad v Vocational Registration Appeal Committee [1999] FCA 608

Milad v Vocational Registration Appeal Committee [1999] FCA 608

Because a decision of the VRA Committee given prior to 24 December 1996 and subsequently set aside in judicial review proceedings is not 'finalised' within the meaning of subregulation 4B(2), the transitional provision permits the GPRA Committee to determine the matter in accordance with pre-1996 requirements and the matter can be remitted accordingly.
