World Best Holdings Limited v Sarker & Anor [2006] NSWSC 1101

World Best Holdings Limited v Sarker & Anor [2006] NSWSC 1101

Despite some error by the Tribunal, the plaintiff failed to discharge the onus of demonstrating that the nature of the claim justified transfer to the Supreme Court under s76A(2)(a). The evidentiary deficiencies and submissions focused on other circumstances rather than the nature of the claim itself, and there was no demonstration that the requirements for transfer were satisfied.
