Administrative appeals
Supreme Court - civil
You can appeal to the Supreme Court against a decision by the following authorities:- the Guardianship and Administration Tribunal (GAAT)
- the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal (ADT)
- the Commissioner of Tobacco Products Licensing (CTPL)
- the Commissioner of State Revenue (CSR).
These appeals should be made to a judge of the Supreme Court and are known as single judge appeals.
Appeals against decisions of the Guardianship and Administration Tribunal (GAAT), the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal (ADT) and the Commissioner of State Revenue (CSR)
If you are appealing against a decision of the GAAT or ADT, and it doesn’t involve a question of law, you will first have to seek the court’s leave. You can do this by filing a Form 69 – Application (UCPR) at the Supreme Court registry.
If you are appealing a decision by GAAT, ADT or CSR, and it concerns a question of law, you can start the appeal process by filing a Form 64 - Notice of appeal (UCPR) at the Supreme Court registry.
Appeals against decisions of the Commissioner of Tobacco Products Licensing (CTPL)
If you are appealing a decision of the CTPL, you must put a request in writing to the commissioner asking that he/she treat your objection as an appeal and forward it to the Supreme Court.
The Tobacco Products (Licensing) Act 1988 requires the commissioner to forward your appeal to the court as soon as practicable.
