- District Court
Appellant did not contribute to the respondent's error, provided correct information and accepted payments in good faith; given his persistent and desperate financial position and that the payments were used to alleviate that position without materially improving it, it would be inequitable to require repayment under s77(2); therefore the overpayment is remitted and the appeal is allowed.
