- High Court
Judge Harrison correctly exercised jurisdiction under s 50(1) to re‑examine factual matters relevant to procedural fairness; he did not err in finding the referee proceeded on factual mistakes about notice and prior adjournments, that the refusal to adjourn was procedurally unfair and prejudicial to the outcome, and that transfer to the District Court under s 53(1) was an available and appropriate remedy; High Court review is limited and will not reassess the merits of those factual determinations.
