1A private entity that is incapable of making a decision of an administrative character under the Judicial Review Act 1991 (Qld) may be summarily dismissed from judicial review proceedings under s 48 of that Act, even where no formal application for dismissal has been filed, as the Court may act on its own motion or on an informal application, and s 48(2)(b) requires dismissal at the earliest appropriate time.
2An application under r 667(2)(d) UCPR to set aside or vary an order is not an appropriate vehicle for challenging the substantive correctness of a judicial decision; where the order accurately reflects the judge's expressed intention and there is no ambiguity, the application is properly characterised as in the nature of an appeal and may be declined.
3Where a party is joined to proceedings despite no relief being sought and no allegations being made against it, the existence of alternative procedural mechanisms for removal (such as r 67 or r 69(1)(a) UCPR) does not render summary dismissal of the proceeding against that party inappropriate.
