- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the Court accepted the appellant's and her partner's evidence and the respondent's date stamps as proof that the election and affidavit were lodged and were in the respondent's possession; misplacement by the respondent does not defeat entitlement, therefore appellant is entitled to cover and to consideration for a lump sum award under s147.
