Patel v Caesar Homes Pty Ltd [2021] NSWCATCD 47

As there was no monetary order made in the 8 February 2021 orders—only a notation of a binding agreement—the condition in Sch 4 cl 8(2) of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 (NSW) was not satisfied; the Tribunal therefore lacked jurisdiction to renew the proceedings or make a money order.
