### sec.219Q QCAT to decide review on evidence before decision maker
A review of a reviewable decision is by way of rehearing on the evidence ( original evidence ) given in the proceeding before the original decision-maker ( original proceeding ).
However, QCAT may give leave to adduce fresh, additional or substituted evidence ( new evidence ) if satisfied—
the person seeking to adduce the new evidence did not know, or could not reasonably be expected to have known, of its existence at the original proceeding; or
in the special circumstances of the case, it would be unfair not to allow the person to adduce the new evidence.
If QCAT gives leave under subsection (2) , the review is—
by way of rehearing on the original evidence; and
on the new evidence adduced.
