Section 105(13) of the State Administrative Tribunal Act 2004 (WA), which permits appeals on any ground where the Tribunal's decision deprives a person of the capacity to pursue a vocation, applies only to appeals by the person so deprived and not to appeals by regulatory boards. The guidelines in Secretary to the Department of Premier and Cabinet v Hulls [1999] 3 VR 331 apply to applications for leave to appeal under s 105(1), but are not rigid or exhaustive. A ground of appeal asserting that a decision is against the evidence and the weight of the evidence does not raise a question of law within s 105(2).
