Hi Welcome to JustAnswer. My first response will follow shortly. Please feel free to follow up if anything is not clear
christhelawyer :
The District Court cases are not easily available but i can tell you that the cases say that such appeals are rarely sucessful and the grounds under the Disputes Tribunal Act are very limited.
christhelawyer :
Look at section 50
christhelawyer :
50 Appeals
(1) Any party to proceedings before a Tribunal may appeal to a District Court against an order made by the Tribunal under section 18(8) or section 46(2) or section 47(3)(b), or against the approval by the Tribunal of an agreed settlement under section 18(3), or against the variation of a term of an agreed settlement under section 47(3)(a), on the grounds that—
(a) the proceedings were conducted by the Referee; or
(b) an inquiry was carried out by an Investigator—
in a manner that was unfair to the appellant and prejudicially affected the result of the proceedings.
christhelawyer :
So this is very limited in application and very few appeals succeed. You will not need a lawyer for this.
Customer:
Thanks for this information, we will look at those sections.
