  What an absolute waste of time and money, I attended a hearing yesterday, the decision was made based on a balance of probability, Dr Collier completely ignored some of the arguments and some valuable evidence i had. All the way it was easy to see that he felt superior and better than everyone, very much so full of himself. Him and his female colleague entered into an almost private and ignoring discussion with the respondent. They both jumped to conclusions, and made a decision on probability rather than beyond reasonable doubt. It was a complete joke, these people come to work with no people skills and ZERO knowledge of procedures. They both told me I could not appeal the decision, when there is clearly an appeal form and process on the QCAT website!! I never been in presence of such incompetent, partial, and irrational government personnel!!! Now if I want to complain against that none sense I have to pay for the appeal another $330,00. This is the administration of incompetent people.

  Absolute waste of time. We took a company to Qcat to try and get a refund for unlicensed and incorrect work with regards to a retaining wall. It was dragged out with about 5 different hearings before a main hearing in Jan 17. We are now end of April and still have heard nothing. The person we took to Qcat never showed on numerous occasions after being told that a decision could be made in someones absence, which never happened. If you don't show up they will wait and accommodate the other party. Senior Member Allen was who we had preside and he was horrible! Can in with a massive attitude like he did not want to be at work and talked as if he was far more superior then the average person. Better off to deal with things yourself then with QCAT. Absolute waste of time and money.

  staff are helpful and will answer your questions to an aedministative level. they do not and should not offer legal advice. comments here are unkind for such a busy court. prepare your case well and read the act for what you can claim and how to justify it.

  My experience today with the QCAT court process was one of complete professionalism. The legal representative who heard and mediated the case was articulate and concise, he knew the tenancy act and applied it fairly and accurately. I felt heard and my views were taken fully into account. This was a case where the managing agent pressured by the owner, who was selling the property, decided to take from the bond of $3400 over $2000 in unjust and unwarranted claims of cleaning and gardening, hugely inflating cleaning and gardening charges. For a property that was left in A1 condition. Justice did prevail and this clever legal representative saw right through their actions and failure to follow the act.

  Very biased. Had proof that owner of property was not maintaining the property. Proof that because of lack of maintenance caused personal property damage even the entry form proved i was telling the truth. And still they gave it to the landlord. Even produce pictures that construction was going on at the house and the house was being gutted still didnt even account for fair wear and tear. Even receipts provided by owner confirmed that i was telling the truth. The owner is a real estate lawyer as i just discovered.
