The application is dismissed because NZQA acted within its statutory powers under s255(7)(a); Ellipse had primary responsibility to ensure student fee protection and failed to do so, the compliance notice complied with s255 requirements, the later s13 correction of the quantified sum was a narrow error correction that caused no prejudice, and the decision to cancel was fair, reasonable and not ultra vires.
