The Tribunal erred in removing Pacific Projects Ltd because the assessor's independent building report provided a sufficient evidential foundation to support a tenable claim against the designer; questions of duty, breach and causation require full adjudication at hearing and a mere denial of liability or assertions of insolvency/contractual caps do not justify removal at the interlocutory stage.
