- High Court
Use of the 7th edition did not constitute unsatisfactory conduct under s72 given the evidence of a reasonable transitional period after release of the 8th edition, the template nature of standard forms with explicit warnings to seek professional advice, and the vendor's clear, dominant control of contractual terms; the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to decide the conflict of interest issue because there was no prior Complaints Assessment Committee determination to appeal, and the appellant's application for reimbursement of expenses was dismissed; Barfoot & Thompson entitled to costs.
