The State Administrative Tribunal (WA), when exercising jurisdiction under the Strata Titles Act 1985 (WA) and constituted by a legally qualified member, is an 'anomalous tribunal' analogous to an inferior court for the purposes of Craig v South Australia, with the consequence that errors of law in construing and applying legislation within its jurisdiction do not constitute jurisdictional error. Prerogative relief against the SAT will only be granted in exceptional circumstances where the applicant can demonstrate good reason for not exercising the statutory right of appeal under s 105 of the SAT Act.
