   ...by fitting the roof rack. The Tribunal found on the evidence of the various service invoices produced by the parties that the roof had probably begun to leak about April or May 2013 after the purchaser had fitted a roof rack to the vehicle, a job he did himself.

   ...that any claim is only a claim until it is proven. At the same time, the sooner everyone acknowledges the sanctity of a Crown-guaranteed title and stops scare-mongering and grandstanding for the media, the more expeditiously we can get on with the job of investigating claims. Once a title is issued by the Crown, it is guaranteed by the Crown. If any financiers are, as reported, threatening to retrieve credit advanced and secured to land to which a Crown title has been issued, I can on...

   ...discuss the situation but received no answer. Her real estate agent, NB, (who had originally recommended BCS) contacted BCS on her behalf and he was referred to a tiler.

   ...The Tribunal is satisfied that that on 1 October 2021, when he arrived at NB and TL’s shop, QU invited NB to go outside and look at his van which had UQ’s name on the side, but when NB again asked him for his qualifications he was told that this job did not require a certified builder or certified plumber. 20.

   ...ongoing injury-related need for personal cares, and that the awards made by the Corporation do not adequately reflect her needs. Ms Beban would like to be reimbursed for 40 hours care a week, to reflect the fact that her husband left his full-time job to care for her.

   ...this “wish you well” genuine? It appears not, or perhaps Paul has forgotten his dialogue with Brett that afternoon. In fact, I remember Mr McBride telling Brett to not take offense at any of his oral submissions, as he “was just doing my job”. 8. It seems this request for an award of costs is again “just doing his job”, and bad faith in a partnership where we are all to come to the appeal with clean hands. 9. Mr McBride and ACC both know that I am medically certified...

She complains that paint is now flaking from a number of places including the windows, the soffits and the fascia boards. She believes the job was a quick coverup to get the house sold. 21.
