Reasons

On 5 May 2026 the Tribunal made orders as follows:

On 7 May 2026, Lana Elliot applied for a rehearing and stay of proceedings on the grounds that: a. The text she received said that hearing was by phone and not by video link; b. She rang the Tribunal at 12.30pm and 2pm on the day of the hearing and was told that an order had been issued; and c. The email provided in the application was incorrect.

On 8 May 2026 the Tribunal set this matter down for a reconsideration hearing, which was then scheduled to be heard today at 2pm.

The application for a stay of proceeding in the interim was declined on the following basis:

Should a rehearing be granted?

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.

There was no appearance by either party at the rehearing consideration hearing today.

I have reviewed the file and note that the notice of hearing was sent to Ms Elliot at the email address provided as an address for service. The notice of hearing clearly states that the hearing would be held by video and included a link to join the hearing.

There was no explanation as to why Mr Tattersal did not attend.

The notice of hearing for the hearing today’s hearing also clearly states that the hearing will be held by video and includes a link to join the hearing. I waited an additional 15 minutes in case either party had been delayed, but neither party joined the conference.

As neither tenant appeared today, and it is not apparent from the evidence that has been filed that there has been any procedural error, the application for rehearing is dismissed.

I have carried over the previous suppression order to this order and so suppress the landlord’s name.
