MARK Darren Levi has forced the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to review his appeal of a decision of the Companies Auditors and Liquidators Disciplinary Board (CALDB) declaring he was unfit to be a liquidator.
In the Federal Court last Friday, Justice Lucy Farrell ruled the Titan Advisory managing director had been denied natural justice when his application for a review of a CALDB decision was considered by AAT deputy president Robin Handley on July 4, 2013. (Read Justice Farrell's judgement here)
The judge issued a writ of certiorari quashing the AAT's July 5 finding and a writ of mandamus requiring the AAT to reconsider Levi's application for a review of the CALDB decision, which was handed down on June 14, 2013 but has not been published.
Justice Farrell ruled CALDB could not publish its original decision before the AAT reheard Levi's appeal. Similarly, the judge restrained ASIC from making any announcement.
