Key legal question
Whether the administrative law appeal was sufficiently reasoned against the non-entry decision of the pension appeals commission.
Extracted holding
No. The appeal did not address the reasons for non-entry and therefore lacked the required subject-matter reasoning.
Extracted reasoning
A remedy against a non-entry decision must engage with the reasons for non-entry; arguing only the merits is insufficient. Because the appeal lacked minimal relevant reasoning, the Federal Court could not enter into it.
