TY v Protective Commissioner [2005] NSWADT 292

TY v Protective Commissioner [2005] NSWADT 292

Because there was no medical or other evidence showing TY's ability to continue working and provide for himself and his family, and because his remaining financial resources would be significantly depleted by a further $10,000 holiday expense, it was reasonable for the Protective Commissioner to limit his discretionary expenditure. The refusal was the correct and preferable decision.
