The Notice of Appeal
7It is convenient to set out the relevant parts of the Notice of Appeal by way of background to our consideration of whether the appellant raises any questions of law or whether leave to appeal ought otherwise be granted. The Notice of Appeal states that the orders challenged on appeal are:
- Cost of parts (purchased by Mr Bougoukas)
- Cost of labour to remove transmission
- Cost of 2 instalments of oil
- Why cost of 2 (two) installations
- Why refund of $1400
- Vehicle has a value of $900 part installed supplied by us
8The grounds of appeal are as follows:
(1)Damage to second-hand housing could not be called by any work we carried out;
(2)Valve body cannot be damaged by work we do. This part is normal wear & tear;
(3) Transmission instalment-normal time is 7.5 hours at $88 =$660;
(4) Oil should only be charged once & takes only 7 litres at $10 P/L;
(5) We installed parts to value of $900-& Labour $500-the parts are still in the vehicle;
(6) Mr Bougoukas (Lic. Mech.) Advised us that he wanted to change only the planetary gears to keep costs down-against our advice;
(7) We were instructed by Mr Bougoukas to only repair the problem, which was to replace the planetary gears only. Even after we advised that we had found metal & clutch material in the sump. Our suggestion was to strip & check. Mr Bougoukas did not want to follow our advice & said that-"the transmission drives beautifully-just replace the broken planetary gears". Bearing in mind he delivered us the gearbox only & we had not driven the vehicle ourselves. We consequently did as instructed. Mr Bougoukas is a licensed mechanic & expected that he knew what he was talking about, in regard to the state of the transmission.
9The orders sought in the Notice of Appeal are:
(1)Cost of housing should not be awarded it was not damaged when it left our premises, nor caused by our workmanship;
(2) We disagree with cost of valve body, this is normal wear & tear;
(3) If we found negligent, cost of one installation only awarded, cost of 7 litres oil at $70;
(4) We should be awarded cost of parts used in initial repair value of $900.
10The notice of appeal indicated that leave to appeal was sought. In section 12A of the Notice of Appeal, the reasons why leave to appeal should be granted were stated to be:
"There were many points overseen in the initial hearing, and I would like (to) have the opportunity to be heard. I've also spoken to Auto Trans Australia proprietor: Joe today at 11:30 a.m. 20/6/14, and it appears that he was mislead (sic) (by Mr Bougoukas) who advised him that we had carried out a full reconditioning of the box. The cost of this would be in the vicinity of $4500-$5000."
11In section 12B of the Notice to Appeal, being the section which requires an appellant to state the grounds for leave to appeal from a decision of the Consumer and Commercial Division of the Tribunal, it was indicated that the appellant asserted that the decision of the Tribunal was not fair and equitable because:
"Our invoice reflected exactly what the customer asked for but this was not reflected in the decision. He did not want to spend the extra cost to recondition the unit. We were paid to replace planetary gears only-not to recondition! As a qualified mechanic we accepted his decision & did as requested & nothing more."
12 The appellant also indicated in the Notice of Appeal that an extension of time to appeal was sought. However, as noted above, the notice to appeal was filed within 28 days of the appellant receiving notice of the decision and, accordingly, was filed within time: see Civil and Administrative Tribunal Rules 2014, clause 25 (4)(c). No extension of time was required.
13Finally, the Notice of Appeal indicated that a stay of the original decision was sought.

Material before Appeal Panel
16 The appellant filed a document dated 20/10/2014 comprising four pages of typed material. Mr Theodoridis, a director of the appellant, prepared this document as the appellant's submissions on the appeal. The appellant did not provide any other material or documentary evidence, including any typed copy of the audio recording of the original hearing, in support of it's application for leave to appeal or the appeal.
17The respondent filed a document dated 28/10/2014 headed "Response". This was a one-page typed document attaching extracts of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 (NSW) (the Act) and a copy of a request for sound recording made by the respondent on 24 October 2014. Whilst the respondent had a CD copy of the audio recording of the hearing below with him at the hearing before the Appeal Panel, he did not provide any written extract from that recording nor did he tender it.
The Appeal Panel hearing
18At the commencement of the Appeal Panel hearing a Mr Ford, solicitor, announced his appearance for the appellant. The Appeal Panel noted that pursuant to section 45 of the Act, Mr Ford would require leave of the Appeal Panel to appear for the appellant. That section provides:
45 Representation of Parties
(1) A party to proceedings in the Tribunal:
(a) has the carriage of the party's own case and is not entitled to be represented by any person, and
(b) may be represented by a number person only if the Tribunal grants leave for the person to represent the party.
(2) However, a party to an internal appeal (or in an application for leave to make an internal appeal) may be represented by a person without requiring the leave of and Appeal Panel if the party was entitled to be represented by such a person without leave of the Tribunal in the proceedings in which the decision under appeal was made.
(3) The Tribunal may at its discretion:
(1) grant or refuse leave under subsection (1)(b), and
(2) revoke any believe that it has granted.
19 In this case, the appellant required leave to be legally represented at the hearing of the Appeal Panel because it did not have an entitlement to be represented by a legal representative at the hearing in which the decision under appeal was made.
20The Appeal Panel refused the application for Mr Ford to represent the appellant and indicated it would give its reasons in the reasons for decision of the application itself. These are those reasons.
21In support of the application for leave to represent the appellant, Mr Ford submitted that his client had a right to be legally represented at the hearing. Mr Ford submitted that the matter was a complex one and that the decision below was attended by serious errors of fact and law.
22The Appeal Panel pointed out to Mr Ford that, contrary to his submissions, the appellant did not have a right to be legally represented at the hearing. Further, the Appeal Panel noted that by granting the appellant leave to be legally represented at this late stage, unfairness could be visited upon the respondent who was appearing unrepresented. Mr Ford's response was that if there was any unfairness to the respondent, he could apply for an adjournment so that he too could be legally represented. Mr Ford repeated the submission that his client had a right to legal representation so as to best put his case to the Appeal Panel. Mr Ford submitted that the Tribunal was not a court and not bound by the rules of evidence and should conduct its procedures informally and allow him to represent the appellant.
23The respondent objected to the appellant's application that it be legally represented. He indicated that he had always been told that parties to proceedings in the Tribunal could not be legally represented. He submitted that it would be unfair to him if the appellant was now able to be legally represented when he had no opportunity to obtain legal representation.
24 As noted, the Appeal Panel refused the appellant's application that it be legally represented. In our opinion there was no reason why leave ought to have been granted. Section 45 of the Act, set out above, starts from the position that a party is not entitled to be represented at a Tribunal hearing. In order for leave to be granted, there needs to be a proper reason for that prima facie position to be departed from. There was no such reason in this case.
25It may be that there will be cases where the complexity of the issues involved, including any questions of law which may arise, would mean that the Appeal Panel would be assisted by a party, or the parties, being legally represented. This is not such a case. Contrary to the submissions of Mr Ford, the matter is not one of great complexity. The director of the appellant was able to, and did, appear in the Tribunal hearing and put the appellant's case to the Tribunal. Further, contrary to the submissions of Mr Ford, the Notice of Appeal did not raise on its face serious errors of law in respect to the decision below. Indeed, no errors of law are specified in, or apparent from, a reading of the Notice of Appeal.
26The Appeal Panel was also concerned that there was a real risk that the respondent would be prejudiced, or at least feel that he was prejudiced so as to affect the presentation of his case, if the appellant was legally represented. In fact the respondent made it clear that he felt it was unfair to him that he would be making his submissions in response to a lawyer, particularly as he had no notice of the application. The Appeal Panel accepted that this would have been unfair to the respondent.
27Additionally, as Mr Ford noted, the Tribunal is not a court. It is a statutory tribunal the rules and procedures for which are set out in the Act and the subordinate rules and regulations. Of course, the Tribunal is bound to act fairly, but to both parties. The informality of the Tribunal proceedings, as referred to by Mr Ford, speaks against the grant of leave for parties to be legally represented in proceedings which otherwise are not complex or do not raise issues of law. The Act recognises this by prescribing that, with limited exceptions (see, for example clause 7 of Schedule 4 of the Act with respect to legal representation in certain proceedings in the Consumer and Commercial Division of the Tribunal) parties are not entitled to be represented but must appear for themselves. This was not a case where the issues were so complex, or significant questions of law arose, such that the Appeal Panel would have required the assistance of submissions made by a legally qualified person.
28Another relevant factor is that the respondent had no notice of the application that the appellant made so that, even if he wanted to, he could not have arranged for legal representation himself (assuming leave for such representation would have been granted). It is no answer to say that if there was unfairness caused to the respondent in such circumstances, he could have asked for an adjournment so as to obtain legal representation. Such an approach speaks against the guiding principle by which the Tribunal and Appeal Panel operate as set out in section 36 of the Act, namely, to facilitate the just, quick and cheap resolution of the real issues in the proceedings. Section 36 (4) notes that in addition, the practice and procedure of the Tribunal should be implemented so as to facilitate the resolution of the issues between the parties in such a way that the cost to the parties and the Tribunal is proportionate to the importance and complexity of the subject matter of the proceedings. In this case, having regard to the submissions made by Mr Ford on behalf of the appellant, the nature of the matter, the issues which arose on the appeal and the potential unfairness to the respondent, the Appeal Panel was not satisfied that it was appropriate to exercise its discretion to grant leave to the appellant to be legally represented. To do so would have increased the costs of the matter, potentially delayed its resolution in a manner that was not proportionate to the complexity and subject matter of the proceedings.
A Further Application is Made: Apprehended Bias
29 When the Appeal Panel informed Mr Ford of its decision to refuse the appellant's application that he represent it, he made a further application. That application was that the Appeal Panel disqualify itself for bias. Whilst, formally, he required leave to make such an application on behalf of the appellant (leave for him to appear having been refused), the Appeal Panel allowed him to do so.
30 The application arose in the following manner. During the exchange between the Appeal Panel and Mr Ford in the course of the appellant's application that it be legally represented, Mr Ford indicated that if that application was refused, this would constitute a further basis of appeal for his client. When asked to clarify that submission, Mr Ford indicated that if the application for legal representation was rejected, it would be evidence of bias by the Appeal Panel against his client. When the application for legal representation was rejected and when pressed as to whether or not he was making any application in respect to the alleged bias, Mr Ford indicated that he was applying for the Appeal Panel to disqualify itself for bias because, as it did not allow the appellant to be legally represented as was its right, a fair-minded observer would not think that the Appeal Panel would approach the hearing of the appellant's case fairly. The Appeal Panel did not understand Mr Ford to submit that it had displayed actual bias, rather that the refusal of the application for legal representation would evidence apprehended bias.
31The Appeal Panel rejected the application that it disqualify itself and gave short oral reasons. Those reasons were that the simple rejection of an application for a party to an appeal to be legally represented, without more, could in no way be seen by a fair minded observer to mean that the Appeal Panel would not approach the hearing of the appeal in anything other than a fair manner. The Appeal Panel noted that section 45 of the Act (referred to above) provided that parties to proceedings in the Tribunal were not entitled to be represented and could only be represented if leave was granted. In refusing leave for legal representation it could not be thought that the Appeal Panel would not allow the appellant to fully argue its case and rely on any material relevant to that case.
32The refusal of the application in respect to the alleged bias was, in the Appeal Panel's opinion, a proper application of the test for apprehended bias, namely, whether a fair-minded lay observer might reasonably apprehend that the judge might not bring an impartial and unprejudiced mind to the resolution of the question the judge is required to decide : Ebner v Official Trustee in Bankruptcy [2000] HCA 63; (2000) 205 CLR 337 at [6]; Michael Wilson & Partners Limited v Nicholls [2011] HCA 48; (2011) 244 CLR 427 at [31]. Mr Ford did not submit that the Appeal Panel had displayed any pre-judgment of the appellant's case (indeed, it was unclear from Mr Ford's submissions why it was apprehended that the Appeal Panel would approach the appellant's case with any bias). If, implicit in Mr Fords submissions, it was suggested that there had been a pre-judgment of the appellant's case, there is no basis for such a suggestion. There had been no discussion of the material to be relied upon by the appellant (it had not at that stage been specifically identified) nor of the merits of the appellant's appeal. In the Appeal Panel's opinion, there was absolutely no basis at all for the application that it disqualify itself from hearing the appeal.
33Following the rejection of that application, Mr Ford applied for a brief adjournment to take instructions as to whether or not his client was to take any further part in the appeal proceedings. A brief adjournment was granted following which the Appeal Panel was informed that Mr Theodoridis would conduct the appeal on behalf of the appellant. The application for leave to appeal then took the normal course.
The Appellant Requires Leave to Appeal
34As the appeal is from a decision of the Consumer and Commercial Division, unless the appeal is on a question of law, leave to appeal is required. Clause 12 of Schedule 4 of the Act provides:
12 Limitations on internal appeals against Division decisions
(1) An Appeal Panel may grant leave under section 80 (2) (b) of this Act for an internal appeal against a Division decision only if the Appeal Panel is satisfied the appellant may have suffered a substantial miscarriage of justice because:
(a) the decision of the Tribunal under appeal was not fair and equitable, or
(b) the decision of the Tribunal under appeal was against the weight of evidence, or
(c) significant new evidence has arisen (being evidence that was not reasonably available at the time the proceedings under appeal were being dealt with).
35The Appeal Panel explained to Mr Thoedoridis these principles and that he needed to identify why leave to appeal ought be granted and that he needed to identify why he may have suffered a substantial miscarriage of justice.
36The principles to be applied by the Appeal Panel in considering an application for leave to appeal from a decision of the Consumer and Commercial Division were discussed in Collins v Urban [2014] NSWCATAP 17 at [65]-[84]. After considering the relevant authorities, the Appeal Panel stated:
76 Accordingly, it should be accepted that a substantial miscarriage of justice may have been suffered because of any of the circumstances referred to in cl 12(1)(a), (b) or (c) where there was a "significant possibility" or a "chance which was fairly open" that a different and more favourable result would have been achieved for the appellant had the relevant circumstance in para (a) or (b) not occurred or if the fresh evidence under para (c) had been before the Tribunal at first instance.
77 As to the particular grounds in cl 12(1)(a) and (b), without seeking to be exhaustive in any way, the authorities establish that:
(1) If there has been a denial of procedural fairness the decision under appeal can be said to have been "not fair and equitable" - Hutchings v CTTT [2008] NSWSC 717 at [35], Atkinson v Crowley [2011] NSWCA 194 at [12].
(2) The decision under appeal can be said to be "against the weight of evidence" (which is an expression also used to describe a ground upon which a jury verdict can be set aside) where the evidence in its totality preponderates so strongly against the conclusion found by the tribunal at first instance that it can be said that the conclusion was not one that a reasonable tribunal member could reach - Calin v The Greater Union Organisation Pty Ltd (1991) 173 CLR 33 at 41-42, Mainteck Services Pty Limited v Stein Heurtey SA [2013] NSWSC 266 at [153].
78 If in either of those circumstances the appellant may have been deprived of a "significant possibility" or a "chance which was fairly open" that a different and more favourable result would have been achieved then the Appeal Panel may be satisfied that the appellant may have suffered a substantial miscarriage of justice because the decision was not fair and equitable or because the decision was against the weight of the evidence.
79 In order to show that a party has been deprived of a "significant possibility" or a "chance which was fairly open" of achieving a different and more favourable result because of one of the circumstances referred to in cl 12(1)(a), (b) or (c), it will be generally be necessary for the party to explain what its case would have been and show that it was fairly arguable. If the party fails to do this, even if there has been a denial of procedural fairness, the Appeal Panel may conclude that it is not satisfied that any substantial miscarriage of justice may have occurred - see the general discussion in Kyriakou v Long [2013] NSWSC 1890 at [32] ff concerning the corresponding provisions of s 68 of the CTTT Act and especially at [46] and [55].
37Of course, if the Appeal Panel is satisfied that an appellant from a decision of the Consumer and Commercial Division may have suffered a substantial miscarriage of justice on one of the grounds identified in cl 12 (1) (a), (b) or (c), then it may grant leave under s 80(2) of the Act. It retains a discretion in this regard. In exercising that discretion, the principles applicable were summarised by the Appeal Panel in Collins v Urban at [84].
38We will apply these principles in determining the appellant's application.
The Appellant's Submissions
39The appellant submitted that the decision of the Tribunal was based in large part upon the ATA Report referred to above. The appellant submitted that all it had been requested to do by the respondent was to fix the planetary gears in the gearbox. It was not asked to fully investigate and recondition the transmission system of the respondent's vehicle. The appellant was critical of the seven matters raised in the ATA Report. In its written submissions the appellant dealt with each of those matters. Mr Theodoris also spoke to some of them. The appellant also said that there had been recent discussions with the director of Also Trans who said he had been told by the respondent that the whole of the transmission had been reconditioned by the appellant. The appellant noted this was not correct. The appellant said that the director of Auto Trans would not, however, put anything in writing.
40 The fundamental point that the appellant reiterated was that several of the items listed in the ATA Report could not have been caused by the work it undertook in simply fixing the planetary gears. The balance of the appellant's written submissions, deal with why it is said the factual findings of the Tribunal were incorrect.
41In the circumstances, the appellant submitted that the decision of the Tribunal was wrong.
The Respondent's Submissions
42The respondent submitted that the appellant had every opportunity to make, and did make, the same submissions as he made to the Appeal Panel to the Tribunal at the hearing of the matter. The respondent submitted that the appellant had not put before the Appeal Panel any new or additional evidence to show that the decision of the Tribunal was wrong. The respondent submitted that the appellant had not provided any proper evidence from Auto Trans disputing the content of the ATA Report. The respondent further noted that the appellant had every opportunity prior to the hearing before the Tribunal to respond to the matters raised in the ATA Report but did not do so.
43The respondent submitted that the appellant had possession of his vehicle for several months. The respondent denied that he had told Auto Trans that the transmission had been overhauled by the appellant. The respondent submitted that no errors of law had been demonstrated by the appellant.
The Appellant's Submissions in Reply
44 In reply to the respondent's submissions, the appellant repeated that he had spoken to the director of Auto Trans who had told him that the respondent had said that the transmission had been fully reconditioned by the appellant. The appellant also repeated his assertion that the director of auto trans had refused to put this in writing.
45The appellant accepted that it had possession of the respondent's vehicle for 2-3 months but argued that this was not its fault as it only replaced the planetary transmission and the truck would not drive. The appellant repeated its submission that people not allowed by the respondent to bench strip the transmission.
Consideration
46 The Notice of Appeal does not identify any errors of law with any precision, or at all.
47In situations where the Notice of Appeal does not articulate and express in terms any question of law it is necessary for the Appeal Panel to determine whether a question of law has in fact been raised, subject to any procedural fairness considerations which might arise to the respondent (see the discussion in Prendergast v Western Murray Irrigation Ltd [2014] NSWCATAP 69 at [11]-[13]).
48In this case, the Appeal Panel after considering the content of the Notice of Appeal does not consider that any questions of law have been raised by the appellant. The grounds of appeal set out in the Notice of Appeal are really challenges to the factual findings made by the Tribunal
49Whilst it is not an error of law to simply make a wrong finding of fact, pointing to a wrong finding of fact may be indicative of an underlying error of law, for instance, if the decision maker had failed to consider a relevant consideration, considered irrelevant factors or was reflective of a decision that no reasonable decision maker could make. We do not think any of these factors apply to the findings in this case. We note that there is no complaint by the appellant about how the Tribunal conducted the hearing by which it reached its conclusions on the facts. We do not think that there was anything raised by the appellant which makes the decision below one which was not fair and equitable (see Agrison Pty Ltd v Madsen [2014] NSWCATAP 95 at [57]-[60]).
50 The difficulty for the appellant is that it appears to the Appeal Panel that it was open to the Tribunal to make the findings that it did. Whilst the appellant is critical of the material in the ATA Report, it is important to recall that, as the respondent submitted, the appellant had the opportunity to put before the Tribunal material responding to that report. It did not do so. It now seeks to challenge the findings made by the Tribunal based on that report, because it disagrees with the Tribunal's findings. It takes issue with the 7 items in the RTA report. It says that many of them are factually incorrect and were not open to the Tribunal. However, it has not placed before the Appeal Panel any evidence, expert or otherwise, on which we could conclude that the Tribunal's findings were wrong. It has simply made the submissions that the findings were not open to the Tribunal. In effect, it is, as the respondent submitted, seeking to have a second hearing of the matters determined adversely to it by the Tribunal without placing before the Appeal Panel any material in support of submissions which were rejected by the Tribunal.
51Further, in the Appeal Panel's opinion there is insufficient material available to conclude that the respondent misled Auto Trans by deliberately telling it that the appellant had overhauled the transmission and that this effected the ATA Report. We would not make that finding on such a significant issue simply based upon the oral submissions as to the apparent conversation Mr Theodoridis had with an unidentified director of Auto Trans. The appellant had the opportunity to put on written evidence in response to the ATA Report at the hearing before the Tribunal but did not do so. It could have spoken to the author of the ATA Report before the hearing below but did not do so. It also had the opportunity to put further material before the Appeal Panel in respect to the ATA Report but did not do so.
52The appellant accepted that he had made submissions on the ATA Report to the Tribunal, including the 7 matters raised in it. The Tribunal has considered those submissions as, in its reasons, it states that: ..."the [appellant] argued that the work done by ATA went way beyond what the [appellant] was contracted to do and there is some merit in that argument. Based on the AYTA (sic) report I am satisfied that the respondent has not only been negligent in carrying out the repairs which it attempted but also I am satisfied that during the course of the repairs the respondent caused other damage to the [respondent's] transmission."
53The fact that the Tribunal accepted that the work done by Auto Trans went beyond the work the appellant did is reflected in the fact that the Tribunal did not award the respondent the full $3,300 paid by the respondent to Auto Trans, but rather only awarded amounts attributable to the findings that the work done by the appellant had caused other damage to the respondent's transmission.
54In all of the circumstances, the Appeal Panel does not accept that there are any questions of law raised by the appeal. Nor has the appellant established any of the matters which the Appeal Panel is to be satisfied as a precondition for leave to appeal being granted as specified in clause 12 of Schedule 4 of the Act. The appellant has not satisfied us that it may have suffered a substantial miscarriage of justice.
55There is no basis for the grant of leave to appeal.
Costs
56The respondent sought an order for costs of the appeal.
57Pursuant to section 60 of the Act, each party to proceedings in the Tribunal is to pay the party's own costs. The Tribunal does have power to award costs in proceedings before it only if it is established that there are special circumstances warranting an award of costs. Such costs may include the cost of, or incidental to, the proceedings giving rise to an application or appeal as well as the cost of or incidental to the application or appeal.
58Whilst the respondent has no doubt been inconvenienced by having to attend the hearing of the matter before the Appeal Panel, that inconvenience and the fact that the application for leave to appeal by the appellant has been unsuccessful are not sufficient, without more, to justify special circumstances that such that an award of costs in his favour is warranted.
59In our opinion, this is not the case where we would find special circumstances are so as to enliven our discretion to award costs.
Conclusion
60The orders we make are:
(1)The application for leave to appeal is refused.
(2)The appeal is dismissed.
I hereby certify that this is a true and accurate record of the reasons for decision of the New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
