Today (10th December) a decision was handed down in the South Australian Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). Case #2016/2372 Crisp vs Secretary of yhe Department of Education and Bruce Hartwig Flying School. Simply put, The student, James Crisp, was awarded a refund of his VET fees paid. The reasons are spelt out in the decision of AAT deputy president Britten-Jones. I don’t wish to be disrespectful to the tribunal by giving a short version of the decision, so it needs to be read as a whole. In a nutshell however, the decision appears to be formed around the evidence that the school did not meet its obligations to deliver the course which was offered nor in an appropriate and timely manner. Its not quite that simple; look up the matter on the AAT website. The AAT appear to be running 6 to 8 weeks behind in publishing its decisions. I’m sure your legal representatives will be given instant access if they ask.
