Matthew Hickey and Sophie Gibson appeared for the successful respondent in Whiteley v Stone & Anor, the first application to the Supreme Court of Queensland for judicial review of powers to cancel a certificate of competency issued to an open-cut examiner for a coal mine created under amendments to the Coal Mining Safety and Health Act 1999 (Qld). In this case note Matthew and Sophie explain how this case confirms the general rule under Stubberfield v Webster and that judicial review should not be considered a replacement for ordinary judicial process.
