Key legal question
Is the tribunal's 29 February 2008 letter an appealable incidental decision under the Federal Supreme Court Act?
Extracted holding
No. It was only an information letter about how the tribunal would continue the proceedings; it lacked a separate formal incident decision, reasoning, and legal remedies.
Extracted reasoning
The letter did not decide competence or recusal, did not show irreparable harm, and did not qualify under the exception for avoiding long and costly evidence-taking.
