Reading back over your posts, doing so is a wise, and timely, decision.

Tim, this case is more complicated that normal and I actually suspect the VCAT member may have made an error of law. It toook 3 VCAT hearings over 6 hours to sort. Its not a simple matter. Regardless, I have learnt a lesson. In regards to other legal battles I am facing (primarily as a respondent), if i used lawyers every time I would be financially strained. In addition, I would say that more than 50% of legal services I have used was a total waste of money. My decision to often go it alone is based on experience.

I hear that often.
Once a matter is analysed in an orderly way,
it turns out to be the case less often than you'd think.

...and I actually suspect the VCAT member may have made an error of law.

Well then, you have 28 days to appeal. Read about that here.
Which bit of law do you think the Member got wrong?
