Matthew Doyle represented the respondent, instructed by HopgoodGanim Lawyers.
This case concerned an appeal against a decision by the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal to terminate a tenancy agreement between the applicant and respondent, resulting in the applicant’s dwelling being removed from the site and destroyed. The applicant then sought leave to appeal this decision, arguing that their former residence should be classified as a “manufactured home” under the Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Act 2003 (Qld). The primary issues for consideration were whether a “final decision” had been made that could be appealed to the Court of Appeal, and whether there was an arguable case that the applicant’s former residence fell within the definition of a “manufactured home” under the relevant legislation. The application for leave was ultimately refused.
