- Court
- District Court
The Court accepted the respondent's reassessment of the appellant's independence allowance as correct and held it lacked authority to exercise equitable jurisdiction to decide a lump sum entitlement that had not been the subject of a primary decision by the Corporation; the appellant may apply for lump sum consideration which the respondent must adjudicate.
