- High Court
Section 82(3)(b)(ii) does not empower the chief executive to apportion part of a sole parent support benefit to another parent in a manner that effectively alters entitlement or rate determined under s70B; the Authority erred in law and acted beyond its jurisdiction in directing the chief executive to consider such apportionment; the matters are remitted to the Authority to finalise consistent with this opinion.
