[5] Decisions made by the RRT
excludes applications withdrawn by the applicant prior to a decision being made
by the RRT.
[6] The figures in the above table
relate to the final status of the RRT decision. For example, if the Federal
Court upholds the RRT
decision, but the Full Court (or High Court) sets it
aside, the decision will be recorded as 'set aside'. Where a decision is set
aside by judgment or remitted by consent, the matter is sent back to the RRT for
reconsideration. Where a decision is upheld by judgment,
or an application is
dismissed or withdrawn, the RRT decision is unchanged.
[7] Separate figures for RRT
decisions set aside by judgment and remitted by consent are not available for
1996/97.
[9] 'Application dismissed'
refers to applications for review that are dismissed by a Judge prior to a
hearing on the merits (this may
occur, for example, where the proceeding is
dismissed for non-appearance at a directions hearing). ' Application withdrawn'
refers
to applications withdrawn prior to hearing.
