The proposed research will compare the strikingly different justice regimes governing residential tenancy disputes over the last 3 decades in New South Wales. These regimes have ranged from the exclusively formal, or court-based, to a hybrid model (with some matters resolved by tribunals, others by the courts) and finally to an almost exclusively tribunal-governed system. This study seeks to compare the effectiveness of these various regimes in delivering justice to all parties. No such study has been conducted in Australia, and the results will provide a basis for informed decision on whether the latest model should remain the preferred one in a sector of the housing market catering for more than 25% of the population of NSW, a large proportion of whom are disadvantaged.

拟议的研究将比较过去30年来新南威尔士州管理住宅租赁纠纷的截然不同的司法制度。这些制度从完全正式的或以法院为基础的制度，到混合模式（一些事项由法庭解决，另一些事项由法院解决），最后到几乎完全由法庭管理的制度。本研究旨在比较这些不同制度在为所有当事方伸张正义方面的效力。澳大利亚没有进行过这类研究，研究结果将提供一个依据，以便在知情的情况下决定最新的模式是否应继续是满足新南威尔士州25%以上人口的住房市场的首选模式，其中大部分人处于不利地位。
