NCAT Practice and Procedure

This second edition of NCAT – Practice and Procedure authored by barristers, Mark Robinson SC and Dr Juliet Lucy is a unique guide for those practising in the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT). NCAT commenced operation on 1 January 2014 and comprises four divisions: Administrative and Equal Opportunity, Consumer and Commercial, Occupational and Guardianship.

Designed for both lawyers and non-lawyers, this book provides the key legislation governing practice in the Tribunal and commentary on that legislation: Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013, the Administrative Decisions Review Act 1997 and rules and regulations made under those Acts. The authors have updated the annotations to reflect the case law developments and legislative amendments since the last edition.

The legislation has been fully consolidated, capturing the latest amendments up to 25 March 2020.

The authors, Mark Robinson SC and Dr Juliet Lucy, with their expertise in all aspects of the conduct of the Tribunal, provide practical guidance about conducting proceedings in each of the Divisions. The commentary covers the day to day operation of each Division, addressing matters such as making an application to the Tribunal, the Tribunal’s jurisdiction, lodgement of documents, seeking a stay, representation in the Tribunal, costs, appeals and an examination of representative cases.

NCAT – Practice and Procedure is an essential reference for both lawyers and self-represented litigants appearing in NCAT.
