Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the hearing before the annual review satisfied the right to be heard, including counsel's exclusion from the planning meeting.
Decisione estratta
The personal hearing requirement was satisfied by the February 16, 2004 planning interview, and no general right exists for counsel to attend; post-hearing written submissions by counsel were sufficient on these facts.
Motivazione estratta
The appellant was able to express herself clearly, counsel could comment afterwards, and no concrete procedural irregularities were timely raised; new complaints raised only before the Federal Court were inadmissible for lack of good faith.
