16B Norana Avenue, Favona, Auckland 2024 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5262670 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by teleconference.

On 18 June 2025 the Tribunal made an order for termination of the tenancy and payment of $1,152.00, that amount to come from the bond.

On 23 June 2025 Timara Chanelle Lee Paul applied for a rehearing on the grounds that she had missed the hearing because she had an exam that day and because at the time of the hearing she realised that her phone battery was flat.

Section 105(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that the Tribunal has the power to order a rehearing where “a substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice has or may have occurred or is likely to occur”.

Usually the party applying for the rehearing must show that something went wrong with the Tribunal’s procedure, for example, that they did not receive notice of the hearing or they were not able to properly present their case. A rehearing may also be granted where there is new evidence that was not reasonably available at the first hearing, if it could have affected the outcome.

The District Court has held that if the Tribunal was simply wrong in its findings of fact, or its application of the law, this is not sufficient to establish a miscarriage of justice: a rehearing is not an alternative to an appeal. Furthermore, a rehearing will not be granted just because a party is unhappy with the decision, or to give them a second opportunity to present their case.

Has a substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice occurred?

Ms Paul has failed to establish the rounds for a rehearing.

This is because she was aware of the hearing time and a reasonable person would either have applied for an adjournment because of the exam timetable or ensured that everything was in order so that she could attend the hearing – such as ensuring that she could take the call.

I note that at today’s hearing it was established that Ms Paul had repaid the arrears the day after the hearing and that she is not currently in arrears. She also stated that she had put her rent payments on automatic payments. C ter Haar 12 August 2025
