Holley v Evatt [2014] NSWCATAP 72

Leave to appeal was granted, and the appeal allowed, because there was a significant chance the Tribunal misapprehended fundamental aspects of the appellant's case, specifically on whether the website was completed and whether defects were due to the respondent's omissions; the Tribunal's decision was against the weight of the evidence, warranting reconsideration.
