The High Court dismissed the appeal. Although the Authority partly mischaracterised the DLC's findings, it was entitled and obliged on rehearing to form its own view of the evidence; on its own evaluation the Authority was not satisfied renewal was consistent with the object of the Act and that the applicant lacked appropriate systems, staff and training, and those conclusions were open on the evidence and not plainly wrong, so the Authority's decision to allow the appeal and rescind the licence renewal stands.
