REASONS FOR DECISION 1. The appellant landlord, Mr Eisa Tadros, seeks leave to appeal from a decision of the Consumer and Commercial Division of the Tribunal made on 30 April 2015. After a hearing that day, the Tribunal ordered Mr Tadros to pay the respondent tenants, Mr Colin Dumond and Mrs Emma Dumond, the sum of $2,500.00 on or before 14 May 2015. 2. The Rules of the Tribunal provide that, unless the Tribunal grants an extension under s 41 of the Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 (NSW) (the Act), an internal appeal against a decision made in residential proceedings must be made within 14 days from the day on which the appellant was notified of the decision or given reasons for the decision (whichever is the later). 3. These reasons consider whether the Appeal Panel should extend the time for the filing of the Notice of Appeal. 4. For the reasons that follow we have decided to refuse to extend the time for filing the Notice of Appeal. 5. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
