The Tribunal correctly transferred the case to the District Court because the claimant sought a permanent injunction outside the Tribunal's jurisdiction; the High Court dismissed the defendants' s27 review application and upheld the transfer order, noting also that parties must attend Court personally or be represented by qualified legal practitioners.

Procedural Posture

Civil Small Claims Matter Transferred to District Court / Review of Transfer Order Under Small Claims Tribunal Rules S27

Legal Issues
