- Court of Appeal
Leave to appeal was granted because the case raises important questions of law—principally the treatment of trust- and company-structured income for child support assessments and the application of departure provisions—that differ among the Commissioner, the Family Court and the High Court and therefore require appellate determination; the Court also held that the High Court was entitled to conduct its own evaluative assessment rather than simply defer to the Family Court.
