- Second attempt on 18 Oct 2026 (~8:10 PM AEDT) also failed. AustLII's page for [2011] QCAT 264 returned a bot-check page, and no CaseChat page exists for this decision. Two later QCAT decisions (Seijbel-Chocmingkwan 2015 and Bannister 2021) independently describe the same facts and the 8-year preclusion, but the original still needs to be read before publishing (bot-check blocked): https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/qld/QCAT/2011/264.html Permanently barred: No Source: CaseChat AU, 2015-07-17
