- High Court
The High Court held the District Court erred in law: payments by MSD/WINZ did not establish that the accommodation was funded for 'emergency or transitional accommodation' for the entire relevant period under s 5(1)(y)(i)(B), and the factual matrix established exclusive sleeping quarters and a tenancy of 28 days or more such that the arrangement constituted a boarding house tenancy under s 66B, so the Tenancy Tribunal had jurisdiction.
