1Under the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2008 (ACT), s 86(1) confines appeals to the Supreme Court to decisions of the appeal tribunal, decisions where the appeal president dismissed or declined to deal with the appeal, or FOI review decisions; no appeal lies directly from an original tribunal decision that has not been the subject of an internal appeal under s 79.
2Appeals are creatures of statute and no right of appeal exists except as provided by statute: Da Costa v Cockburn Salvage & Trading Pty Ltd [1970] HCA 43; Lacey v Attorney-General of Queensland [2011] HCA 10; Minister for Immigration and Border Protection v SZVFW [2018] HCA 30.
